Hi Guys, anyone have any ideas about getting secondhand lab coat in Melbourne? How much does it cost? Or someone in Melbourne would like to sell it?

I've just gone to my uni and look, new one without my uni logo is $25. While, in Malaysia I also use RM25 to buy it. I regret that I didn't bring mine over here.

Where did you get for $20. I want to grab one too! My uni sells $25.

Hahaha. Thank you.

Since I'm going to city why not just ask where is it and buy it.

Now, another entertainment for me is cooking. I still continue download, I love drama very much. Anyway, try to cut down because need to study hard. See how long can I stand^-^

My landlord is animax super fan. He has a lot. Me is drama super fans. DL and streaming almost same. I using china software "xunlei" for DL. Don't use BT very slow and use a lot of quota. Anyway, cutting down now.

Just need to get use with it and don't time conversion factor. ^0^ Anyway, I still the pain but worth it. This is because I need it

Why I can't feel it. My housemate can feel it??

Most of the students at deakin just went for one day. Me went for 2 days one day registration (enrollment), the other day for trip (optional).

Therefore, if you never appear also never mind. (Just only my opinion). You can enroll later, same as other local students.

If you plan for migration I mean PR then you need to make sure the minimum duration of your course is 2 years.

All dietetics courses in Australia are assessed by DAA (Dietetics Association of Australia), therefore their standard I reckon almost similar. What are differences between universities might be elective field. For example, Wollongong (spelling not sure) has sport nutrition while others might not have. Monash University has pediatric nutrition while my university don't have. They just give us a book, something like note and you read it. For final clinical placement you can request to have practical at child hospital (special term already forgotten) to deepen your knowledge. I think Flinders University has the highest number of Malaysians and Singaporeans who study dietetics. Some of my senior went there.

University of Otago is in NZ. I have a friend graduated from there but from medicine and few years back. If you want to study at this university you better check for PR application in NZ. You need to know how long you need to study in NZ in order to obtain PR.

In terms of demand, haha. Demand of dietitian in OZ not really high. Fresh graduate quite difficult to get job at hospital except you willing go to ulu ulu places. Anyway, ulu places also not too bad to as a stepping stone for you.

For me to study dietetics is my passion and not for PR. Therefore, I'm choosing to spend 1.5 year to study it and high possibility back to Malaysia or Singapore. Homesick

BTW, does Newcastle recognised by JPA. This is because previously I checked through food science and nutrition courses at JPA website, only Deakin been recognised.

Hope this can help you. I think I have posted some information at food science and nutrition thread. Go there to get more information. Cheers^0^

Remember study for passion. If want high demand course then study Medicine or pharmacy and don't study nutrition and dietetics.

Paragraphs please!

Isn't that similar to their MBBS program, where you have to choose either the PMS or local stream upon application, and there is no changing after application?

In any case, it is always about grades, regardless if it is a transfer or twinning program. If it is a transfer you many not get the uni you put as your 1st preference. If twinning you may get less exemption in your new institution.

Newcastle, the town, is a nice and quiet place. Sydney is not too far away for a weekend escape either.

sorry lar haya...im new here..^^
nid paragraph right? okok..
i will be more careful nex time.

I'm studying Master of Dietetics (1st semester, 1st year). I did my bachelor at UPM, Bs (Nutrition and Community Health)

Which state you intend to drive? Remember do your license's translation into English

It applied this course 3 years ago before I graduated from my university. This is a very competitive course. There are few universities offer this course. You can check it from DAA website and not every university offers master course. You need to have good grade in your study. Anyway, you can try your luck.

Try to apply local university I mean UPM, UKM or USM. (save more $). If you want to study dietetic then you need better CGPA than nutrition. Nutrition course also offered by UPM, UKM, USM, USTEM (spelling not sure), USM, UCSI. They call nutrition as Permakanan.

Initially, I when I applied this course I didn't know what was it. I just simply applied. Coz I like to eat but this course ask me not to over eating . Anyway, when I started this course, I felt this course quite interesting and can help more and more people. But if you want people to adopt healthy eating is really difficult. You will know it when you deal with people. Anyway, when you face difficulties remember the moment why you like this course. Don't give up!

How many years will you study at Newcastle?

As Haya said, dietitian not in shortlisted, so for migration wise a bit difficult. Besides, demand for dietitian in Australia not really high.

Maybe Singapore is another good option. Good luck.

If I were you, I think I would study all 4 years at IMU.

Cheers, C U

Dietetic is a professional course. After this course you can work as a dietitian and do not need master. Master is for those who are not study dietetic in their undergraduate and hope to be a dietitian. Or those who work as health care worker and would like to further study.

For me I plan go to Singapore. Lower tax than Aus. Or study population health science for 1 year. Still do know yet.

If you study at IMU then you can save a lot.

Overseas also not too bad! At least you learn how to be independent, how to cook and how to be independent.

Convenient!
I don't know anyone at here, not really familiar with this area. So, I think homestay is a good place to start. Besides, the fee not really expensive as compared with S-H-A. and they also include with anything such as food, internet (depends), electric, water, etc. Besides, they never request for minimum stay. You just need to inform them 2 weeks in advance when you want to move out.

However, it's not really for long term. Once you familiar with the place, you can move out.

buy electronic blanket. quite nice no cold bed! K-mart has offer now, go and have a look lah

Don't you feel that at the moment you go into your bed very cold. Electrical blanket something like underneath blanket (correct term not sure) to keep your bed cold.

How do you put the blanket,
1. this blanket like cover sheet so put it 1st and cover your bed
2.put bed protector (if you have)
3. bed cover sheet
4. flat sheet (if you have, I don't put because lazy to wash)
5. sleep on it
6. cover with quilt.

I bought at K-mart Aus$39.99 (single bed) Kambrook. I've other customers, the most popular brand is sunbeam but they claim all brands are same.

I only turn it on before i go to bed, about 30-60mins before go to bed. Then turn it off.

To encourage environmental friendly mah! BTW, they try to reduce their work load and hire less ppl loh^^

Tomorrow might have hail in Melbourne! Take care

Hail in Melbourne today
