Hi all,
I remember a few years ago seeing places like St Vincents Private and Mercy (Melbourne) offer traineeships in enrolled nursing and am wondering whether they still make these offers.
All of the information I am researching on the net at the moment seems to be really outdated which made me think it may not be very common anymore.
I know Ballarat Health is offering it at the moment and I am looking into that, but I was wondering if anyone in Melbourne knew if there are any opportunities around at the moment or in the future.
Is it worth approaching places for a traineeship? I really like the idea of learning in the workplace as I study, and having that 15 hours a week of paid work (even if it is trainee wages).
I have been offered a place for Diploma of Nursing at ACU for midyear, but want to have a second look at my options.
If anyone here is working in a healthcare setting where they offer this, please let me know. Any advice about how to go about this, or whether I can approach potential employers, would be great. From what I have gathered it seems that aged care facilities are more likely to offer enrolled nursing traineeships, which I would be happy to work in.
I am looking in Melbourne's western suburbs (where I live) and Melbourne City/Parkville/Carlton etc hospital precincts.
Thank you everyone
Kaz
