Maybe try calling some nursing homes to see if there are any jobs available.

Hello,
I am studying EEN in brisbane right now ,it's my second semester.I had went to nursing home for 3 weeks placement,so almost learned everything about AIN.
although I sent many resumes online for apply a part time job,but never get any result.. Is it because I am a foreigner? really hard to get a job for start ...
Does anyone working in a Nursing home or other health care facilities could introduce me a job ? or any tips for job hunting will be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi snowwhite,

I would suggest that it will be better to go door knocking to nursing homes and bring your resumes personally or alternatively join nursing agencies.. you can google search the names of nursing agencies..good luck. :up: :)

Hi, I used to work as AIN in Brisbane. Although you have completed placements and had some knowledges/skills, it is not easy if you are an international student. It could be because of your English/communication skill or your status as a student.

From my experience, many nursing homes just offer casual positions for students as many students cannot work continuously because of various events such as exam, assessment...ect.

Contact nursing homes or nursing agencies and ask them you want to start from casual. If you do not cancel any shift and work hard, they will offer some part time later on.

To find the agencies, nursing homes, use the job websites like M (Medical specific site), S or C.

Newspapers(including local papers)are another good source to get a job!

All the best:lol2:
