I am studying Enrolled Nursing in Melbourne but I believe most States are the same. After the first semester (six months) when we had completed our aged care placement, our college gave everyone a certificate III in aged care so we could work in nursing homes while we were studying. This has worked out well for most and some who do agency work, which is really easy to apply for, are working in hospitals as well and loving it. You will be time-poor and most can only do one shift a week with the workload. Afternoon shifts are more user friendly if you can get away from school on time to get to work. Hope this helps.
