Is child nursing or audiology better

Which of the two would be a better course. I’m happy with both honestly just looking for some insight. I want to be in the paediatric side in both of these.

It really depends on what interests you the most. With audiology, you are very much focused solely on hearing loss and supporting people (in your case children) with this. With child nursing, you are supporting children but across a range of different things (including more challenging cases in some scenarios).

What interests you the most about working with young people? 🙂

Honestly what interests me most is that they’re so sweet and trying your best to make sure they are safe and helping them in any way you can. I think it’s a beautiful rewarding job 🙂

I would reccomend audiology such a good career and pays really well and has lots of flexibility where as child nursing lots of stress

Both roles could be for you but it sounds like you would make the most amazing child nurse 🧡
Once qualified, there are opportunities to develop and specialise into a certain area, so maybe look at where you could take the child nursing qualification and something might interest you even more 🙂

You would need to speak to the university providing the course as they may cover this cost for students 🙂

Hi, I’m thinking about audiology but I’ve heard so many mixed things about it I’m not sure what to believe anymore some say it’s toxic and rubbish lay others say it’s great can someone please share with me what the career is actually like. Thanks
