Where Asha started.
Told she needed IELTS 7 just to apply for nursing.
- Staff nurse diploma (PCL) from Pokhara and two years of hospital work.
- IELTS 6.5 with writing 6.0.
What we changed.
- We separated two English rules: the university's entry score, and the nursing board's registration score, which she needs at the end, not the start.
- We chose a degree that recognised her PCL diploma, cutting her study time.
- She chose Adelaide over Sydney for lower rent and placements close to campus.
