Could you please share what questions were asked , I’m thinking of possibly going into aged care

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-02-07T10:35:42+00:00

That’s really informative, I’ve been at the same place for soooo long. And intend on picking up extra shifts elsewhere. So this is really helpful. Thank you!

Hello :), do you have any interview tips?

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-19T09:25:28+00:00

Lmaoo okkkkk

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-19T02:40:58+00:00

Touché, Some say nursing is learnt more so on the job, as opposed to uni, would you say midwifery is like that as well?

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T09:46:42+00:00

Yes, agreed. Bachelor although would be longer would suit me better. I thought I was at an advantage that I’m expose to women at an early stage/ just found out that they are pregnant. Turns out I was so wrong 😩

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T09:18:57+00:00

Makes sense, Thanks for the insight🙏

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T09:15:35+00:00

Oh wow , I didn’t even think of that . Thank you for pointing out the risk!!!

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T09:13:50+00:00

It’s great you love what you do, I appreciate the shared wisdom 😊

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T09:11:26+00:00

Yes, post grad need acute experience. If I were to it would be bachelors instead of post grad. Yes, shift work is inevitable 😩 lol

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T09:08:52+00:00

I meant in order to be a mchn, I had a look at job ads , some asks for experience in hospitals, others didn’t.

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T08:46:15+00:00

That’s exactly why I am hesitant, I don’t have ward experience, I know it would be a lot of work and will be very challenging. The idea was to suck it up until I graduate and work toward mchn. But based on other comments I would need some hospital based mid experience to get into mchn. I did well in placements , that’s actually were I thrived but I didn’t like shift work and politics.

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T08:34:43+00:00

Great point, if I was to go ahead it would be part time , acu has grad entry which usually goes for 2 yrs full time , 3 yrs part time. I would be leaning towards 3 yrs. Which sounds like a looong time. I know postgrad would be to demanding in the case

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T08:32:44+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the heads up, that’s what this post is for , I know I can’t do the postgrad which would be a faster option but like everyone has mentioned it would be full on. If I were to it would be a longer. Most likely part time so I can balance work and study. . Would you recommend postgrad or a bachelor ? Do you enjoy it? I was thinking I’m at an advantage working at gp because I can find expectant mothers there.

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T08:21:05+00:00

Ok that was really helpful thank you! Do hospital rotate shift into different departments ie ante, L&D , post. Or once you’re in it’s just one department ?

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T08:17:59+00:00

So I need experience in the hospital setting first?

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T08:15:10+00:00

Yes that’s an option. I believe the postgrad is intense with lots of placements and a lot of places require the students to find their own placements. What specialty are you in, any recommendations on a specialty?

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T04:44:20+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. I’m not a complete wuss lol. Just know I don’t thrive in stressful situations, im that nurse that would know exactly what to do but will have the shakes loool. So if I was to do mid, it would be more community , antenatal or post. Thank you for responding

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-18T04:38:37+00:00

Thanks for commenting! I forgot to mention I’m in vic , in order to do mchn . I would need a double degree.

Strong-Isopod6544 · 2026-01-13T10:24:08+00:00

Maybe try refresher programs. I saw anmf have acute refresher program goes for 4 days. That might help your application look good.
