"Why do you have to study nursing at Piyaminthararaksa School?"

Study nursing at any school in the country, but this one is the most reliable, has been open for a long time, has more than ten thousand graduates, has quality standards that are recognized by various organizations and hospitals, and is guaranteed to have a job after graduation.

Study nursing at any school in the country, but this one is the most reliable, has been open for a long time, has more than ten thousand graduates, has quality standards that are recognized by various organizations and hospitals, and is guaranteed to have a job after graduation.

Because it is the first school that has been open for a long time and offers a course for nursing staff (Nurses' aides: NA), which is a standard course certified by the Nursing Council, which currently has very few courses offered. In addition, the Nursing Council has a policy for NA positions that will work in hospitals to graduate from the NA course.

Study for 4 months because it is a requirement of the Nursing Council's curriculum that requires 1 and a half months of theory study and 2 and a half months of practical training. The subjects studied are intensive and related to hospital work.

The difference is that the 6-month course includes 3 months of studying childcare for young children and 3 months of caring for the elderly. According to the course structure, the focus is on caring for young children and the elderly who are not sick, and it does not focus on providing services to patients in hospitals. Therefore, there is a loss of the opportunity to earn income for up to 2 months. Students must pay more for accommodation, food, and personal expenses.

True, there is no need to waste time and money if you can compete for admission and think that you are ready in terms of expenses such as dormitory, food and other personal expenses for 1 year without income because most of them study in the regular program. But if you study NA first, study for only 4 months and finish and have a job in the hospital and have income, then study PN on Saturdays and Sundays. It also gives you a chance to pass the entrance exam and study better than others. Piyaminthararak School also has a quota for alumni to study PN at the Faculty of Nursing, Rangsit University.

The difference is PN calls this position “Nurse Assistant”. Study for 1 year, study at university or nursing college only, do not study in nursing school. After graduating, wear a white uniform, white hat. Duties include helping nurses take care of patients who are not seriously ill and helping with equipment preparation. Starting salary is higher than NA by about 2,000-3,000 baht.

NA calls this position "care staff" according to the requirements of the Nursing Council. But in the hospital, it is often called "nursing assistant". Study for 4 - 6 months, studying at nursing schools and some universities. The uniform style and color follow the policy of each hospital, but cannot wear a nurse's hat. Duties to assist nurses are the same as PN, but not as complicated. Focus on taking care of hygiene, the environment, equipment, tools and department administration.

You can definitely study if you meet the requirements of the educational institution, such as a high school diploma. Some places require a science and mathematics degree, but some do not specify the subject. Some grades require a grade of 2.5 or 3 or higher. However, studying NA is a ticket to easily enter the exam because you have a good foundation of knowledge, skills, and attitude towards the nursing profession. You love patients, which makes you study better than others. You can also collect a portfolio. Importantly, it is a way to discover yourself whether you love this career or not. It is better than wasting time and money studying nursing and not liking it. Especially if you graduate with a bachelor's degree, you can continue studying nursing for only 2 and a half years, which is a new curriculum.

Of course, because the director, Dr. Siripan Wetchasit, has experience as an assistant dean of the Faculty of Nursing at a private university and has more than 40 years of nursing experience. Therefore, he has excellent knowledge and experience. This place is like a "nursing school" where many alumni graduated as nurses and can help tutor the younger ones.

Income depends on many factors such as the type of establishment, clinic, hospital, elderly care center or home care. It also depends on experience, diligence in working OT. But in the beginning, if working in a hospital, it will be around 12,000 - 15,000 baht, excluding other income. If including night shift pay, OT pay can increase to 20,000 baht. But if working as a home caregiver, the income including food and OT pay will be as high as 30,000 baht, depending on the patient's condition. The school has a network center that sends home caregivers.

It is definitely possible because there are more elderly people around the world, requiring more caregivers or Caregivers: CG, which will satisfy Thai people because they are well-mannered, gentle, and provide good service. But where to go, you need to study from the Ministry of Labor and reliable companies, and have language readiness. But at Piyaminthararak School, there will be companies that cooperate in sending you to work in Japan, with an income of approximately 50,000 baht per month. Especially if you study the NA course of the Nursing Council, you will have an advantage because it is an internationally accepted certificate, and you are also registered as a "service provider" and receive a certificate.

You can study if you have other qualifications as specified by the school. After graduating, you will definitely have a job, but it will be a job at a clinic or an elderly care center or taking care of the elderly at home, which the employer will be satisfied with because of your good maturity and responsibility.

Graduated with a bachelor's degree and then work in a hospital, the income will be the same as someone who graduated with a high school diploma because the position of nursing assistant has a base salary according to the qualifications of that position that accepts a high school diploma. But the advantage is that you can move to work in other positions according to your qualifications if there is a vacancy, such as someone who graduated with a communication arts degree and works in public relations, someone who graduated with an accounting degree and works in accounting, someone who graduated with an administration degree and someone who graduated with a marketing degree and works in the marketing department, etc. All positions require people who have knowledge of hospital services and have already completed the NA course.

Studying NA will already have basic knowledge in caring for the elderly. Therefore, you can open a business to open a care center for the elderly, which is in high demand because the number of elderly people is increasing. Children have to work and do not have time to take care of them. It is a business that does not require a lot of investment. If you graduate with a bachelor's degree, you can immediately take the training and take the exam to register as an operator. In addition, you can open a center to send caregivers to take care of the elderly at home.

There is only one branch in Bangkok because the executives see that they can closely control the quality. Bangkok is a source of employment for students with more than 200 public and private hospitals. However, there are not many in the provinces. Students must be sent to train in Bangkok as well. This may cause a slow adjustment, unlike studying from the beginning, when teachers can closely monitor and help solve problems at all times. After graduating, students can have a job. 100% But if you want to go back to work at home, you can go back home when you have a work permit. There will be more opportunities to get a job than when you just graduated because there are fewer job positions in the provinces. In addition, there are many educational institutions that are conducive to studying for a bachelor's degree.
