Work experience for secondary students considering a career in nursing
If you’re still at school and considering a career in nursing we have a work experience program where you can talk with nurses about what a career in nursing involves. Our program includes visits to a number of patient care settings and information on course pre-requisites, employment conditions, our Graduate Nurse Development Program (link to grad nursing page) and the support to nurses when they commence their nursing career.
