I am happy to have a chat to your about studying at Challenger for Diploma of EN - since I finished in November 2012 - so still fresh in my mind.
Unlike a few fellow graduates over in the east - there are an abundance of grad positions for EN's and RN's in Perth. I got six job offers both from private and public hospitals. I believe 90% of my class got grad positions and a couple have gone to study RN straight away.
If you email me on rebeccag@mosperth.com I am happy to chat. I think you sent me a PM via this site - but for some reason I can't access it.
Good luck everyone. I personally found the Dip of EN great, manageable with kids and a job and now am very happily working at one of the top private hospitals in Perth as a grad EN. All worth the effort!
Cheers
