Hi everyone,
Im starting a new job in Aged Care, and I have limited experience. I'm a RN div 1 in Victoria, and I completed my degree last year and didnt get a graduate year and I needed to get some work asap. In my interview they said they would put me on the shift doing medications and wounds in one wing of the facility, which is done my the Div 2 Med Endorsed, until I get some experience in the Aged Care field, then go onto doing the Registered Nurse Supervisory role in the whole facility. They mentioned that my pay rate (as first base rate as Im just out of uni) is similar and not much more to the rate of the Div 2. I assumed that RN in Aged Care are a higher grade,and I would like someone with more experience to confirm that with me, before I end up being put in charge and only being paid Grade 2 year 1 and not a higher year.
thanks
