I know that I have to wait until 2nd year before I can work as an AIN, but can I work as a PCA in my first year? Or do the two require the same qualifications? I have some experience in aged care as I started a Cert 3 in aged care and did 120 hours placement, but then decided to study a bachelor of nursing before I finished the Cert 3. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!
