The course itself on a whole was good, some of the lecturers were absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and very supportive and being able yo study around and maintain a home life with family was awesome. I was lucky enough to secure a commonwealth fee subsidy which despite some upfront fees worked for me meaning I didn't end up with a HEC's debt however would work if you are financially able to undertake. I was fortunate enough to get solid placements even through the covid pandemic this unfortunately comes at the cost of not being able to work my normal job which means budgeting to have 2-6 weeks off at any given moment is hard in addition to travel, accommodation and meal costs which is difficult to cover when not working for weeks when I believe there should be a wage given to cover even as a student in nursing wage agreement to make it financially difficult, that is partially the reason people don't stick with the course in addition to the compulsory requirements of vaccinations and third party fot testing, police checks etc.
My advice is if you so badly want to do nursing as a career, research, financially plan ahead and be prepared although it is a hard, mentally exhausting and sometime physically tiring it can be one of the most rewarding journeys to care for others and that's what they will remember you for the care you gave to your patients and their families

Course itself was structured very well, and support from lecturers was great.
I also had some personal issues at the time, and keeping motivation to complete the course. Support from the lecturer through this period was amazing and I can contribute completion of the course to their support.
Only issue I had was the CQU Website & Moodle is not the easiest to work your way through if your not familiar with it, and just when I started getting familiar with it it changed.
I am now in process of looking for other work opportunities in Maintenance Planning, Not in Project Management, however comments during both interviews have been very positive for having the Diploma of Project management to support my career.
Would certainly recommend this course & CQU, if Project Management is what you want to do
