Hi,
i think they used to let students work as a div 2 after 2nd year not sure about now, it requires a registration as an enrolled nurse and i dont think you can do that as a student...however you are able to work as a pca in some aged care homes depending if they employ students ( some do not they may require a cert in aged care or similar). When i did my placement in aged care they offered me a job as a pca and i have no certificate in aged care. anywho email the board and specify what state you are studying then they will tell you if this is possibe.
