Hi joanne Thank you for ur response... Was ur daughter able to work whilst doing the double degree?

Its hard to find work that's not in aged care and that's not agency I mean. While agency is convenient it isn't my cup of tea! I'm fussy when it comes to what type of nursing I want to do!! For clinicals I would hope to be able to work as much as possible during school holidays to save for the time I'd be at clinicals. 15-20 compulsory contact hours weekly is full-time study ive been told.. I'm sure I can do anything I put my mind too! :-)

Hi Caza, This is a double degree I want to study at Deakin Uni in Burwood (melbourne). It's full-time internal and I think 15-20 contact hours a week. Trying to find work as an endorsed enrolled nurse is ridiculous...! There's nothing out there but aged care or agency, even then sometimes u don't get called for days.. I love babies and hope to be a maternal and child health nurse oneday! Just not keen on watching people have them but if I have to to get where I want to be then so be it! I have done agency plenty of times before and I despise it lol... I was just wondering if it would be possible to work during this double degree and study? :-)

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone was happened to have done the above course? I am going to apply for next intake in 2012. I am currently an EEN and I am finding it so difficult to find a job thats not in aged care, currently unemployed. Im 28 and live out of home so while I am doing the above course I will need to be working a few shifts (maybe agency) during the week to help pay for rent, food, bills and my debt! I eventually plan to become and Maternal and Child Health Nurse! What are your thoughts on this? - Dayna:D

Hi all, OK I'm in Melbourne, Im doing my Division Two Graduate program and Med Endorsement at the moment but am really interested in doing my Bachelor of Nursing via distance while I can still work for the money or lack there of! :-) Just wondering if UniSA are good, as i get mixed messages about UniSA... I hear they are unorganised... I know you have to goto the Uni twice during your course?? And have been told to apply directly through them as Open Uni can be abit of a hassle... There are so many other places to choose from like Charles Sturt in NSW or Charles Darwin University, CQU in Qld..... I just don't know which one to do it through.. Any ideas/help?!..... Placements i thought placed you in the city you live in? Did anyone find it really difficult teaching themselves the infomation we need to know to sit for exams? Lots of answers would be great!! :) Thanks Dayna
