hey guys,

I was just wondering, if I do a bachelors of Nursing (preregistration), is it at all possible to gain part-time work as an enrolled nurse or nursing assistant while studying or do I need to graduate first?

anyone know??

thanks,

ratty

Hi clara_tanone,

you'll be able to work as an assistant in nursing. Generally places won't consider you until you've completed your first year and/or done your first placement, which is usually aged care. When you're there, ask about jobs. Once you've got some experience there, hospitals will look on you more favourably.

Enrolled nursing is itself a qualification, done through Tafe.

Good luck :)
