又是好一陣子沒有發文章了,眼見這部落個和我的後花園一樣,快要被雜草掩埋 原因是,我現在因情勢所逼,每個小學妹大學ㄧ畢業就直接念碩士文憑,實在是無法再拖下去了, 上半年淹沒在"學術苦海",好不容易,第一學期結束了,HE-RAY!! (寒假休息四周) 趁有時間,趕緊跟大家報個好康的 我現在念書的費用,是獎學金支助的,除此之外,它還幫我出書本費,電腦,學雜及交通費, 偷偷告訴大家,其實我念書還有賺錢哩! 為什麼這麼好康? 這也是要看你申請到的獎學金,有些出ㄧ半,有些全額,而我的,是政府特別撥的款項,鼓勵護士走精神科專業 當然,其他科也有特別設的獎學金,需要花點時間找,不過基本上,大學都可以提供這方面資訊 目前因為澳洲老年化趨勢,好像老年護理也有許多獎學金 以上這些獎學金,大多是給具有澳洲公民身分的學生申請的, 至於海外學生,通常要先在澳洲念上ㄧ兩年,成績優異的,有時也可以申請學校特別設給外籍學生的獎學金 除此以外,我因為還是公家醫院的全職人員,"依規定",醫院又給我一週四小時的帶薪STUDY LEAVE,兩周多一天假也是挺不錯的!

注意最後一句,現在雅斯聽說讀寫都要7分以上了! English test options are: 1. Occupational English Test (OET) This test is focused on knowledge of English in an occupational context. It is conducted by the OET Centre seven times a year and is held in many locations within Australia and overseas. The full test must be completed in one sitting and Council requires a ‘B – Proficiency’ level pass or above, for all four sections of the test, giving an overall pass. 2. International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Applicants must complete the Academic Test. It is conducted by the Overseas Students Units of all Queensland universities. Council requires a minimum score of 7 in Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking
