Thanks for your reply Grace Oz and lifes_a_beach Is it easy to find part-times jobs as an EN? I'll be studying at Box Hill Tafe, Melbourne for a year (and i'll be eligible to register as an EN) and then move to Deakin to continue my Bachelors for RN. I had someone suggesting to me to work as a Carer. Any inputs will be helpful..

Hi AngeB, Thank you for your reply. I think you mis-understood my question. The TAFE is only for 1 year (and I'm eligible to register as an EN after 1 year) and then it is integrated with University for Bachelors of Nursing (for RN) for another 2.5 years. So it makes 3.5 years in total. On the other hand, if I go directly to uni, i just have to study for 3 years (as compared to 3.5 yrs in first case) but I won't have an oppurtunity to get myself registered as EN and cannot work as a Nurse. My point is that if I choose first option and become an EN, can I work along with my studies in Uni to help fund my studies? I'd welcome all suggestions. And if I don't choose first option and go directly to the Uni, what option do I have to work to fund my studies?

hi, i'm planning to study nursing in australia and have 2 options: first option: 1st year at tafe for certificate iv in health (nursing) 2 yrs 6 months at university total: 3 yrs 6 months second option: 3 years months at university total: 3 years but in the first option, i can be registered as an enrolled nurse. my question is do you think it will be worth spending 6 months extra to be an enrolled nurse and work as an enrolled nurse while i study my bachelors in university (of course part time work). or should i go directly to university and save 6 months?
