   Everyone studies different ways :). I have heard that whole of mind learning when it comes to diagrams makes it easier (I memorised the diagrams in my first test - Victoria, Australia) so didn't need to use it. Whole of mind learning of diagrams mean...

   You might be ineligible to work in an adult ER, but is there anything precluding you (besides possible distance) from working in the ER of the nearest paediatric hospital? 'shelle

   shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

   Concurrently employed .............. are you about to try to enrol for a traineeship course minus the traineeship? Sorry if that's not the case , but that's what it sounds like.

5. Urgent Care?????

   shelle001 replied to weetziebat's topic in Emergency

   For the Aussie nurses on board. Is "urgent care" available as a work option in Australia? As i've said in other section posts :), i'm currently studying Div 2. My eventual plan is to study Div 1 and then Emergency. I believe that urgent care, in t...

6. How to get in TAFE for Enrolled Nursing?

   shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

   Sorry, but as we live in different states, I can only give you generic information which would most likely be the same in both Victoria and NSW. For NSW specific information, you'll need to ask people and organisations in NSW. 'shelle.

7. How to get in TAFE for Enrolled Nursing?

   shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

   Or you could try for a traineeship. Traineeships might take 2 years to complete instead of the standard one year, but you earn (not a huge wage, but something nonetheless) as you learn. Also you could try to apply for Austudy. If you had become an ...

8. How to get in TAFE for Enrolled Nursing?

   shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

   As far as i'm aware, HECS doesn't happen with TAFE courses, only Uni courses. However, you can try to apply for a student loan, or obtain a low income health care card. Being that you're an immigrant, I can't tell you exactly what route you'll be el...

9. Enrolled Nurse vs. Endorsed Enrolled Nurse

   shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

   Others can correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe that being an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse simply means that you've also been taught the medication module/course. A "standard" enrolled nurse isn't taught that, but can do it as a later update.

10. How to get in TAFE for Enrolled Nursing?

    shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

    Level 2 first aid is usually around 3 days. Medical terminology takes around 6 evenings to complete, but that can be one evening a week for six weeks. However the aged care/community care or whatever Cert III course duration depends on how the TAFE...

11. How to get in TAFE for Enrolled Nursing?

    shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

    Pink_margarita, Because it's a TAFE course, as a mature aged student, there isn't anything (at the moment) that you have to do to get into the Cert IV course. However, I believe that if you attempt the course next year, and maybe (not sure if it's th...

12. Div2 to Div1-How long it takes?

    shelle001 replied to pink_margarita's topic in International

    Yeah, that further 2 years is full-time study. However, I believe that full-time in uni can be (depending on uni of course ) 16 to 18 contact hours per week so still gives you some chance to work.

13. What to do now!

    shelle001 replied to nurse07's topic in International

    It might not be exactly what you want to do (if you're moreso after hospital work), but one option (the way I got into Div 2 studies) is to do the Cert 3 in Aged Care, do well in that, and get into the Cert IV course with those results helping you ou...
