I'm starting my nursing degree at the beginning of next year, and I'm very excited :) I'm in South Africa, and you are obliged by law to do a Zuma year, a year of poorly paid government work in the busiest and understaffed hospitals. I'm hoping to becoming a registered nurse and eventually working in Australia (they get you residence within 2 weeks and you have a salary 3-4 times that you get in South Africa). I'm not in Nursing for the money, but if my boyfriend and I are going to raise a family, a South African nursing salary would not suffice.

I'm studying nursing at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa, it's a fantatastic course. Did my first proper day of clinical duty today, I helped clean a patient whose facial tumour was rotting away. Cancer smells so strange, I don't think I'll ever forget it. I also got tested on my full body wash skills even though I'd never performed one except in theory excercises. I got 90%, whoop. Oncology is an awesome place to work.
