Its pretty daunting but I'm excited. Its going to be tough working part time or casually as well as study and classroom time. I thought maybe joining a Nursing Agency would be a good idea to work around the course. Does anyone have any experience with agency work whilst studying? I don't have a cert III so finding work in Aged Care or AIN might be difficult - has anyone got advice? Thanks

You will need to check this though it may have changed since I did my EN's (I finished in 2014). I know a couple of friends that did after doing their first placement which was aged care. I would suggest that you get a casual job in hospitality. It is what you know and it would be easy for you to do (a no brainer) while studying without having to worry about learning a new job and studying. Hospitality may not be your thing now but it will pay the bills and allow you to live. I personally stayed in my retail assistant's job until I could get an EN job. Best of Luck, KKarmy
