Nursing is a fundamental profession to modern health care; it is a career that is highly valued and respected, and that requires an individual who is a hard worker, compassionate, can communicate effectively and can remain level-headed in challenging situations.

As nursing professionals are in the health care and social assistance category, this suggests that the National Disability and Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will continue to enhance the industry’s employment growth. The help of the NDIS, along with supplementary government expenditure, indicates that there will be an estimated 119,000 healthcare workers by the year 2024, making this sector the economy’s largest with a total of 1.8 million workers.

A Diploma in Nursing course is the perfect stepping stone to help you to build your career in nursing. If you’ve always wanted to work in an industry that is meaningful and provides a strong sense of purpose to all of those who are involved, then a nursing course is a great starting point for you.

Blended learning flexibility allows students to study in a way that best suits them – with a portion of the course delivered online, students are given the option to study their nursing course anywhere, anytime.


Why Studying Nursing Is The Key to a Rewarding Career

To find out everything you need to know about studying Nursing, as well as where it could take you career-wise, who better to ask than a fellow Nursing student? We sat down with Bronwyn to find out more about her experiences studying nursing as well as what motivated her to pursue a nursing career.

Nursing student scholarship

Every nurse has the potential to change the world! For every life that I save, by vigilant observation and proactive management of symptoms, a whole family is blessed with a future with their loved one. For every baby I may deliver, I bring happiness to parents and families. For every wound that I dress or ankle that I strap, someone is made to feel more comfortable. If nursing allows me to save lives, bring happiness and comfort to others, then I am changing the world for the better!

What are you studying at the moment?

I’m currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Nursing, in my final year. I’m doing some work placement at the moment which keeps me really busy. Luckily the course is through distance learning, so I get to learn at my own pace and study when I need.

How are you liking your study?

Doing the Bachelor of Nursing is really good online, but it can be a little difficult at times too. Because of the nature of the course, sometimes I need to travel, only two of three times a year though. Luckily, I have an amazing job at the moment which allows me to work around the placement and the occasional travel to Adelaide. The course is a lot of work but I love studying and have been doing so since 2003, so I’m pretty used to it. I’ve done six Certificates and four Diplomas in various areas like child care, disability and even agriculture.

As for what I’m doing now, I do think the placement is very important but it can be hard, especially if you’ve never done something like it before. I do pretty well with all the theory work, but when it comes to practical skills I can be a bit lacking.

In something like Nursing, you need to be hands on and know all the skills and techniques, so doing a course with a work placement component is really important. I think more than anything it’s just making sure you have the commitment to the job, if you really love helping people, then the long hours and gruelling work shouldn’t seem so difficult.

Did anything inspire you to pursue a career in nursing?

I’ve worked in aged care and disability homes before, and I remember having a patient that required more assistance than I could give. I couldn’t help but wish I had the knowledge and skills to be able to assist people who need it the most, and that’s what really started me down the nursing career path. Another inspiration was my grandmother and wanting to develop the skills to help her as well.

I also run the Warialda Respite Centre, for people who have a mental illness or disability and need a place to stay. This is a big motivator in what I do and drives me to keep studying and developing me knowledge to help them as best I can.

Nursing is also a great area because you can tailor your career to a nursing specialty based on what you’re passionate about. I like that you can explore different areas and be involved in a variety of health-related departments as your career progresses.

What are your goals for the future?

I had to leave the Warialda Respite Centre for a while because of the work placement which took up a lot of my time. I’d like to get back there at some stage possibly. I’m also hoping to teach in the future, even in Vocational Education like TAFE.
I’ve done plenty of teaching in areas like child care and disability. I really love doing that, so maybe down the track I can help teach the skills I’m learning now to others.

Do you have any advice for anyone out there thinking of studying nursing?

My advice for nursing students is to do a course like a Certificate III, which is what I did in Aged Care. This allows you to gain the basic skills first and work in the industry after a year of training. It’s also a great course to do to move into other qualifications, like an Enrolled Nurse course where you can learn skills such as administering medications and acclimate to hospital work.

The great thing about these nursing courses is that when they’re complete; you can register as an enrolled nurse and enter the workforce with a broad range of skills and experience. It’s also really good to go back and upskill in different areas in the future.
