Thankyou so much for this video, super informative 💜

[@laurashepherd2613]

Love this video! Did you get your AIN job from a placement, or apply separately?

[@roannajane2759]

I applied separately, but it’s definitely worth chatting to the NUM or educator on placement to ask about potential AIN positions!

[@aiewaibha3291]

What is total cost of studing EN ? Or AIN . Really interested 😊.

[@terryjones5779]

Are AIN's aloud to perform ECG's or bladder scans? What about altering oxygen levels with the witness of a nurse. Also, can AIN's take out a cannula or draw up normal saline?
I've seen some do these on the floor so I'm curious about their scope or maybe they are trained to do it?

Hi, I live in Nigeria but will be relocating to Canada soon. I have a certificate as an AIN, can I find AIN jobs immediately I relocate.

[@gurjeetkaur6895]

Hii please tell me AIN ( can I do work in hospital)

[@BUNNY-vf7cl]

I recently found work but if my current job earns slightly more than an AIN. Do you think the experience gained as an AIN is worth sacrificing $3-5 less an hour? 😅

[@roannajane2759]

Great question! It really depends on the individual. I gave up a job that paid more because I valued the AIN experience and benefits around new grad, and I ended up moving in with my parents to reduce the bills I had to pay. But someone else may find other work with better pay as more beneficial for their own living situation. I guess it also depends on how much you work too! I hope that helps you with your decision 😊

How do you find the time to do the placements while you’re working as an AIN? Do you have to take unpaid leave?

[@raine6634]

[@cebukangaroobun2575]

I’m currently study Certificate 3 in Health Service Assistant, is it I need to study a different course to Become AIN or after studying this course I’m qualified to work as an AIN ? Thank you

[@crystalr6485]

Im doing a Cert III in Health Service Assistant, and that is the cert needed to become an AIN. I am going into a diploma after i complete this course. but it is doable if you become a AIN. the minimum requirements to become an AIN is a cert III in Health Service Assistant. I hope this helps

[@mariamnaqvi1380]

Hi, where to find AIN job opportunities? Thankyou.

[@roannajane2759]

Have a look at local health district websites in their careers section 😊 you could also go online to job ad websites as they are often posted there as well

[@taghreedd4740]

[@Candyg14]

What’s the difference between acute care and the cert 3 in health service assistance. I am confused.

[@dreidolcampaign2912]

Hello there, I’m in my 3rd year of Bach of nursing; just picked up a job as an AIN in hospitals. So is it just literally aged care stuff? And the scope isn’t great as far as I’ve being told? And the money is good I already have a job but is the experience really all that great that you go into different fields? I also messaged you on Insta. Great video too it was helpful

[@sakshideendyal7901]
