Aged care is very under funded and understaffed. I worked on a medical ward in a tertiary hospital, I loved looking after the patients who generally were aged.

Midwifery is awesome and rewarding but very much a political fight a lot of the time. I love working in all aspects of care from antenatal clinic, childbirth ed, birth suite, postnatal and domicillary (home visits.)

I did a 3 year bachelor of nursing at la trobe I then 3 years later went to VUT and did a 1 year graduate diploma in mid.

HECS funding made it affordable as u pay it back at tax time once earning.

The juggling study, family, house and placements would be a challenge but with family support it would be doable. When you do placements you will have al; shifts including nights and weekends without much lee way to swap as so many students needing hours.
