Is it possible to work as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia while taking a part time nursing degree

Is it possible to work as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia while taking a part time nursing degree?
I planned to do that, but I realised that while the demand for Enrolled Nurses isn't high, it isn't easy to get a nursing job as an EN in Australia.. My main reason is to study a part time degree in Nursing and at the same time, work as an EN in any nearby hospital. I am from Singapore. It won't be easy, but anyone could give any information? thanks.

If you are an enrolled nurse you could apply for an agency and work through them. You will need to bring your qualifications with you and might have to do a conversion at TAFE. Enrolled nurses are trained through a TAFE degree (used to be through a hospital over 2 years), so its something you still need qualifications for.
