Nursing??

[Mildez]

The easiest way here to do it is be emplyed by a community centre and they pay for you to do it provided your going to stay on after your trained. We can work as a community midwife without MCHN but usually its only when they are desperate and they like to send you of to uni to train. But I can't committe to that so its not an option for me. I wish I could do it at home and once qualified then go work in the area at a later date.

Sorry mummaofchaz for crashing your thread.

That's ok!
Would anyone know which uni's in Vic the Bachelor of Nursing is avail at part time?
Does it go towards getting a Div 1 or is it a Div 1 course?

Bachelor of nursing is Div 1.

Most unis will offer part time. Latrobe, RMIT, ACU, VUT all offer nursing

you can also study nursing via distance education and still register anywhere (after you've registered int he State you studied). Univeristy of South Australia offer direct entry into the distance ed program but you can also apply through Open Learning Australia. There are a few Uni's who offer it via distance ed... and you can do it part time.

I found a Div 2 nursing course at Chisholm Tafe in Frankston goes for 18mths full time or 2 years part time. Could be promising not sure how many days would be required and im not sure what sort of areas I could work in with the qualification besides aged care.
Have to do a separate course for the medication side of things too which is another additional 13 weeks.

many hospitals employ Div 2 nurses. St Vincent's Private offers a traineeship for Div 2 so you study and work at the same time. They were advertising recently.
