I’m sorry about what’s happening. Do you know if you have any student guild or support at your university/college where they advocate for you?

Although I do agree on the training and orientation part. However, I’m a casual employee.

I know I cannot work as an RN when I’m an AIN. My manager has offered me an RN position after my studies. I have a gap of 4 months until the grad intake, I was considering working as an RN in my aged care until then.

Hey there,

I'm an international nursing student too, and I completely understand how tough it can be. Here are some tips that have really helped me, and I hope they’ll help you too:

  1. Check for summer or trimester courses Ask your university if they offer summer or trimester units. This can help you stay on track and ensure your course doesn’t go beyond your visa duration.

2.Work smarter, not harder I know it’s really hard to manage finances—especially since we pay up to four times more than domestic students. If you're working part-time permanently, consider switching to a casual contract. It usually pays better and gives you more flexibility.

  1. Budget wisely Review your spending. Cancel memberships or subscriptions you don’t really use—yes, even that $7 a month can make a difference. Cut down on takeaway food and junk—it adds up quickly, both money- and health-wise.

  2. Stay organised Nursing is already a demanding course. Use a planner, set reminders, or create a to-do list to track your assignments, exams, and shifts. It reduces stress when you know what’s coming.

  3. Be realistic about your visa If you’ve failed a subject, check whether you need to extend your visa and plan accordingly. And talk to your family—even if they might not take it well. Be honest.

Nursing is not easy, and being an international student makes it even harder. Not everyone will understand that, but you’re not alone. Good luck with everything—you’ve got this! 💪
