Hear from our Nursing students


‘I was drawn to Nursing and Midwifery because of the School’s clinical placement model and partnerships with major healthcare providers. I’m in my second year but I have already gained so much clinical experience in aged care, a short stay medical ward, an antenatal clinic and a birth suite.’
