A career in Nursing can enrich your life and the lives of others every day; offer diverse challenges; take you around the world; and you could be employed within just months of graduating, as our ageing and growing population means skilled nurses are in demand.

Start by looking at the options of becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) or an Enrolled Nurse (EN).

Registered Nurses (RN) have a high level of expertise and responsibility, and they can take on many challenging and rewarding roles. For example, they can be a unit manager, team leader or work in medical administration. The RN has the training and experience to give their patients the highest level of care in a range of complex situations.

We often hear that Nursing is a calling, nurses have a passion for providing patient care but how do you know that Nursing is your calling?

The following is written by a Diploma of Nursing student, Patrick Amuli.

I’ve always been intrigued by the complexities of the human body. It’s fascinating to learn how our bodies work and cope with both internal and external stressors.

When I was younger I always dreamed of becoming a doctor but I couldn’t afford to go to Medical School so I studied Primary HealthCare instead. A few years later, I was undertaking a Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Medical Science and something about it didn’t feel right.

Transfer your credits now and start in October, it is that simple!

Industry placements are an essential element of the Diploma of Nursing, providing you with opportunities to apply the skills you have learned in the classroom and laboratory in real professional environments. The clinical setting which is hosting you can really make a difference in your nursing career.

Today, we sat down with Letisha Germain, lecturer at Torrens University Australia to find out how a Bachelor of Health Science (Aesthetics) can expand career options for an enrolled nurse.

At first glance, the very thought of managing studies, work and family life can seem daunting.

Luckily, at THINK Health Education, we are aware of these challenges. We ensure the workload is as flexible as possible to fit your busy life. Our Nursing students get the opportunity to choose how they want to study, whether it’s full-time, face to face, or blended. Our blended study mode mixes on-campus and online learning. Students attend classroom and simulated laboratory sessions one day per week. The rest of the time, they study from the comfort of their home and at their own pace. Thanks to this flexibility, getting a handle on all of life’s commitments is so much easier.
