[sconeonamission]

oh this is so interesting!! I start my RN's degree at uni on the 1st March.! I'm so scared and nervous and excited! I'm already a PC in a nursing home, so I'm hoping to get some help from the other nurses at work

What State you are in? VIC
What are you? (EEN, RN etc) Endorsed Division 2
Where do you work? (Hospital, docs office, community etc) hospital
Do you specialise in anything? I must say that aged care is my thing lol. I have spend my whole career in it and I dont mind it.
What different things have you done and what do you enjoy the most? I started in a nursing home as a Div 2 trainee.. Finished that and then they put me through my endorsement. I then did agency for awhile and then worked in more aged care before moving on to my current job. I LOVEEEEEEE it! lol work in a rehab ward for older people. And I love seeing that I make a difference and that they CAN go home with a bit of help from us. I was sick of seeing people die and wanted a better place to work. We do see deaths but nothing like a nursing home. I love that I work in a hospital and I get the chance to further my career. I may not be an RN but I feel that I am as good a worker as them. I plan on doing my IV course in the near future I hate working PM shifts tho but did I mention I love my job I love being a nurse I dont want to be anything else
