Hi I am contemplating studying a Diploma in Enrolled Nursing, i am 27 and want a job which will become a career instead of going from job to job feeling like i could be doing 'more' with my life! I like to help people and grew up with a type 1 diabetic mother which lead to many complications and I saw many health problems through that. I feel this would be a way to give back through my/her experiences with the health system. But I am a little uneasy about the needles and blood thing and this makes me hesitate about studying this. I am wondering if instead of being in a hospital on a ward, what are the other job prospects? Could I work in a rehabilitation centre and help people learn to walk again etc, even if it were just assisting a RN.
What are the other job options that could come out of completing this course or is it limited to working on a ward in a hospital environment?
