I'm currently applying to study Dip. of Nursing at an RTO, does this course need to be completed in order to apply for the Bachelor of Nursing course elsewhere? The field I eventually want to get into is mental health nursing. I am completely new to the field, having worked in retail and studied retail management previously so really just need some direction. Cheers, Ash

(this is in Melbourne) But if i was you, i'd start from the diploma and make my way up. I think it's a much better learning experience and to see if it's right for you. I started from a PCA (personal care assistant) and now i'm nearly finished with my EEN course - best thing i've ever done. I'll happily continue doing my RN1 which is a extra 18 months here in Melbourne @Latrobe university. Hope this has helped ? Let me know if you have anymore questions that i can help you with. Thanks. Shane.
