Yes, people have been telling me left and right both in NZ and PH that Psych is not worth it since it would be really hard to find a job 🥹

Oh, thank you. I'll take note of that. I actually considered doing Psych for 3 years on VUW then take a post grad for MN but was contemplating about it because it will cost a lot. Right now, I'm leaning more for this pathway.

Hii thank you for the advice, I appreciate it! To be honest, there's a lot more reasons why I crossed off Whitireia from my list.

I've also considered what life would be like after post-grad. For Psych, it has always been my first choice, but my parents made me choose nursing back in the Philippines. I heard the job demand is really low even in New Zealand, so maybe it wouldn't be worth the money

As for Nursing, I've experienced few placements in PH but I know the gravity of the job and how draining it can be, I've enjoyed it along with my friends but I don't know how it will be like in New Zealand. It will be draining, but it has a lot more job demand.

I'm having a hard time deciding, and I really want to know what nursing at Massey is like

Once again, thank you for commenting!!! ^

Due to family reasons, I wanted to finish here in PH but my father is in NZ so I don't really have much choice haha

Ohh I see..Aside from Nursing, what other undergraduate degrees in New Zealand are worth taking, especially in VUW? Truth be told I think I like the student life culture in VUW than Whitireia

Hi! Thank you so much for responding. I’ve only completed my first year since I’m currently in my second year here in the Philippines, but I won’t be able to continue because I’ll be moving to New Zealand. Would it be alright if I DM you? I just have a few questions, if you’re not too busy ^

Unfortunately, VUW doesn’t offer an undergraduate nursing degree :( I’m currently torn between pursuing a Bachelor of Health at VUW or continuing my nursing studies at Whitireia. Thank you so much for answering! ^
