This whole registration renewal thing sometimes really gets to me. Sometimes I don;t think I will make it through and I would have blown 10 grand, sometimes I think I will be OK. Just what the heall is the registration body trying to do? 'They' say there is a desparate shortage of nurses so why in Gods name do they make it so hard to re register? Why I can't do this course locally has me baffled? The local hospital can accommodate student nurses from 3 different universities, so why can't the course be run using the resources already in place? All i am doing is refreshing my training.....I am not learning from scratch....... I know I have to learn how to use the latest equipment, no problems there, I know I have to scrub off the rust, no problems there....God, we ALL do but WHY OH WHY must I do this in Sydney, WHY do they need $10,000 from me to do this? I cannot, for the life of me, see nor understand how they can justify charging such a huge amount of money for an 8 week program......4 weeks of theory and 4 weeks of clinical IF there is a space available at whatever hospital they choose????? They can't even decide on when the courses are to run.... I was told the dates would be available by the end of October...... STILL not on the web site....

Ahpra...you sh*t me to tears.....
