Job alongside diploma??


Hi all,

Just wanting some thoughts/ideas really. I'm doing my nursing DipHE, but with the rising cost of fuel am coming to realise that I'm going to need to work alongside my course (didn't want to have to, cause I live out in the sticks and it's a pain to travel anywhere...but that's another story!)

My timetable is irregular every week and I don't start placement until middle of August.

Apart from Bank work at my trust hospital (which is too far away from me really to justify the travel until I go into placement) can anyone suggest to me any jobs that I might be able to fit in around my course?

Sounds like a dumb question....but I've been racking my brains and can't really come up with much. ALSO, I can't work weekends, which is why I really think I'm going to struggle to find something.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Jemma

Bar work?

Shelf stacking?

Bank work elsewhere other than the hospital you have placements in?

If you are looking for flexibility have you thought about private cleaning? ( in peoples homes i mean) You can probably get a better hourly rate than on the bank as an HCA and if you find local clients you wont need to travel.

or you could try bank at your local nursing/ residential home. They to tend to have some out in the sticks.

Bar work and shelf stacking is rather out, cause they always want you to work weekends too!

But the private cleaning is a good idea, and may give some of the local residential homes a call too....thanks everyone

You may be able to negotiate bar shifts only during the week (depends on supply and demand of bar staff) and bank/agency shifts as a care assistant may also work.

LOL Chestnut - Hampshire any good to you!?

I'm still struggling to find anything currently...no care work seems to be going at the moment! No bar work, no shelf stacking...na-da!

But the local paper is out today so will be on the look out again!!

Need to get something fairly soon though as need to earn some decent money over the summer before I get bogged down with placement starting August!!
