Hi All -

I am finishing my diploma in SA at the end of this year and then are planning to move to the beautiful state of Tasmania :)

I noticed when flicking through the advertised EN jobs - they ask a lot for 'Medication & IV endorsed" Enrolled Nurses -

How does one go about this! or will I already be?!

Also any TAS EN's find it hard to get work - I want to work in Aged Care or Community care ( fingers crossed ) X-D

Thanks guys :D B-D

You need to get yourself registered with the nursing board as an EN that can administer both medication and IV medication.

http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/FAQ/Enrolled-nurses-and-medicine-administration.aspx

In short, you will need to enroll yourself in a medication diploma after your diploma in nursing. Such as the 1 offered by RMIT. (There are many others)
