Excuse me, but what did you say? Did you pass your college writing coursework? If you did, it does not show in this post. Please, when posting on the internet in places associated with your work, pay attention to your grammar! This kind of post reflects poorly on you!

Given that nursing in general in Australia isn't post-graduate entry, and that EN training isn't a degree course, the OP most likely hasn't completed a college-level writing course. And while the original post is not perfectly composed, I have absolutely read far less intelligible posts that didn't receive this kind of unwarranted, unhelpful response.

To the OP: try The Good Uni Guide for programs - I found these results on a quick search but there may be more; at their sister site I found this page for NSW/ACT institutes that do enrolled nursing training.

When supposed professionals write this way, throwing our wonderful English language and its grammar to the wind, it reflects poorly on the writer and on those of us who are colleagues. Knowing that can be helpful-as perhaps, this very casually constructed post may be read by someone who may someday be considering to hire of this individual.

The OP is enquiring about EN programs - s/he is a lay person, not a professional, supposed or otherwise. And even if the poster's name actually is jack92 I doubt a post enquiring about education options will have any affect on a career that is at this point wholly hypothetical.

If I were you I've be more concerned about how this kind of response to someone enquiring about entering our profession reflected on me. And if I wanted to change the way people on an anonymous board post I'd be more inclined to pick more egregiously flawed posts, made by frequent offenders who are a little more robust than an 18 year old kid fresh out of high school.

I am saddened that an 18 yr old, as you say, fresh out of high school in an English speaking country has not learned English grammar. I think that says something about the educational process...

I feel even more saddened that a 35 year old feels the need to address someone in such a pompous, pretentious and borish fashion. If you can't answer the question then please refrain from making ill considered comments.

To the OP: You could try contacting the NSW board of nurses to see if any other institutions besides TAFE offer an Enrolled Nurse course. Here in SA the ANF and other non TAFE organisations offer the EN course.

Guy, Can we please stop attacking each other and keep to the question

Good on you poster for thinking of your possible future!

Contact the nurses' board in your state, and also the bigger hospitals around you, as some conduct their own, internal EN courses.

PS: if you want to try for university now or later, try this website: hotcourses.com.au

I found this quite helpful when searching for courses. The universities near you should also have info on EN courses.

I wish you luck for the future as nursing can be very difficult, but worthwhile as a career, and can build not only maturity but strength of character.
