I'm a nurse, I went straight to uni from high school. At my uni I had 2 contact days a week then up to 3 days a week in a placement. I worked at woolworths doing nightfill and ordering and worked around 30 hours a week but that was before I had children and my workplace was very flexible

A lof of graduate nurse positions are only offers full time which can make for a difficult twelve months. I currently work a set roster so I do Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and every second weekend. I still have to do night stuff but I Only do it on weekends due to child care. I lose two weeks annual leave a year so 4 Instead of 6 weeks but being able to have regular shifts is worth it for me. It really depends on your work place and your uni

Good luck with your career change
