N.B. The Nurses Board of Victoria does not specifically require one to have relevant nursing experience however if you do have, you are required to provide evidence of this.

hi, i just want to ask if the pay from doing part time jobs is enough to cover the tuition fee and living expenses? I am really hesitant because I will be going there alone without any relatives. thank you and good luck on your career. :)
Hello Oisheen,
Well it depends on what job, how many hours will be given to you a fortnight, how much is your tuition fees and the kind of lifestyle your willing to sacrifice.
If you will be able to do a consistent 40 hours a WEEK or more. Then i believe you have a good chance of surviving here on your own but 40 hours a FORTNIGHT might be hard. Specially if your saving for your tuition fee, living allowance and paying extra for books and other stuff.
My answer is NO. Sorry.
