After appearing on The Bachelor, Nina went on to also star on a season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2018.
She has since left the limelight and now works for SILK Laser Clinics.
It comes after Nina exposed the truth behind life in the famous Hunter's Hill mansion.
In a tell-all interview, she claimed that the 25 women were forced to live in 'asylum-style' accommodation and shared just one washing machine between them.
Speaking on the Confessions of a Twenty Something Train Wreck podcast, Nina added that filming took place 'five days a week' and rose ceremonies would often last until 3am.
'We filmed five days per week with a two-day break, which wasn't always a Saturday or Sunday but it was always two consecutive days,' Nina said.
She also revealed that the limited laundry facilities put a strain on the girls, who were often struggling to find clean clothes to wear.
'We had to do our own laundry and stuff like that. We only had one washing machine between 20-odd women. It's a lot of laundry,' she said.
Nina explained that the frequent 'outfit changes' demanded by producers turned the laundry problem into a full-blown nightmare.
She also spoke about the living arrangements during The Bachelor's third season.
'So if you think of, like, school camp crossed with a psychiatric asylum, that's what it feels like!' she laughed.
Nina added: 'In my season, in the Hunter's Hill mansion, we had three bedrooms between 25 women. In my room, we had five girls: two bunk beds and a single bed.'
She claimed that one of the other bedrooms actually housed '10 people'.
Elsewhere in the interview, Nina addressed the insufficient number of bathrooms in the mansion, saying: 'Then we had four bathrooms between 25 girls.'
She also explained why the female contestants would often look 'bleary eyed' and 'tired' during the rose ceremonies.
'People always say we look really tired in rose ceremonies. You have to understand that we've done a cocktail party and you have to wait for the sun to go down [for that]. You've never seen a cocktail party during daylight,' she said.
'We're in Sydney with daylight savings, so the sun doesn't go down completely until 9pm and we're sitting around literally waiting for the sun to go down.
'Then we have to do a cocktail party, where the Bachelor [Sam Wood] has to go around and speak to everybody. Then all the drama...'
Nina estimated that the rose ceremony wouldn't usually begin until after midnight, after all the cocktail party footage had been captured.
'By the time we actually get to a rose ceremony. It's probably between 1am to 3am,' she explained.
'We've been in these outfits all day. So if you were the first person to go through to hair and makeup at 10am, you've actually had that on for all day, all night!
'Then you have those shoes and your feet are killing you. So you would be standing there on those stairs after you've just been filming, say, five or six hours at a cocktail party and then you're standing there.'
Nina claimed that some departments would often halt filming if the shooting conditions weren't perfect.
She said: 'You have to take into consideration, if one candle blows out, you've got the art department saying, "Stop! We have to re-light that candle". If a plane flies over, you've got the sound guys saying, "Stop!"
'If one of the girls' hair is out of place, or The Bachelor's tie is out of place, then wardrobe say, "Stop!" So everything takes so long.'
