Guest genorm Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've emailed "Joe" and asked why that site is spamming people. I'm not expecting an answer (although it hasn't bounced so you never know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdom1 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The requirement for Cert 3 isn't universal, nor a legal requirement. My wife doesn't have it, but she works in a private facility. (I say private, but somehow most of the patients are ultimately funded by the public purse). She works casual, but because she's reliable and does the work they've offered her a permanent position, which would then include support to do Cert 4 Aged Care. Her background is in small medical practices, and she has non-UK qualifications. This meant that the RPL route for EN or RN is difficult. So in addition to working in Aged Care she's studying the full EN course. _Then_ she got offered a job in a small cancer clinic as long as she does a specialised course for this too. Attending the course qualifies her legally to work at the clinic. Clearly her experience is coming across at the interview stage and when working, so employers just want the qualis as a pro forma. Both jobs are part time, so she'll carry on doing both. The advantage about the Aged Care is that because demand is constant (and because they know she's reliable) she can pick and choose her shifts. From what she says, RNs are also in demand, because they are under the pump too. But there's a lot of demarcation about who can do what. AINs shouldn't do this, only RN are allowed to do that. And also some snobbery about what menial tasks should be left to the "lower grades". As always there's more chiefs than indians, so demand for RN isn't as high as for AINs. But there's no law against you working as AIN too if push comes to shove. Since your husband has experience (and even foreign qualis) in Aged Care, he would almost certainly get a job. I don't say this lightly, because I hate to give people false hope, but I know for a fact that of the 7 new AINs taken on about 3 months ago, only 2 are still there. Some find better jobs, some don't like the work etc etc. I really pity the shift manager. Eventually my wife would like to work more in the clinic. It's where her experience lies and she finds it more interesting and, let's face it, working in Aged Care is often dirty and depressing. But, she's valued by both her colleagues and the residents, and it's a job that needs to be done. Australia has a growing geriatric population, so I think that this is a safe job, if not a well paid one. I'm reluctant to give out details about the institution on line, but if you want to PM me I'm let you know. I'm quite sure that our experiences in this little pocket of QLD are repeated across the country. Thanks for the great info and insight, I'll pm you for a little more info Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeah, I've done it twice all ready and missed by half a point on the reading. I was booked to do it on sat (just gone) but my son had a fall from his scooter and I ended up at urgent care instead. I emailed to explain and asked if I could defer to next test date. I'm hoping they allow me to do that without paying again! :-) Thanks for the advice.. Ill look on that site. :-) Have yhou looked at the OET?
