why not do RN's at uni? its only 3 years, you get a better pay and HECS covers the tuition. I skipped the EEN's but i have 2 friends doing it now and they go 3 days a week. they love it, the aged care placement is awful! and we ALL must do it whether RN or EEN but its worth it in the end. uni is only 3 days a week too. Anyway you can upgrade later on if you choose. GOOD LUCK!!! we need more of you!!!
