Nursing and Midwifery Work Experience Program (Year 10 students)
The Get Real Experience and Try (GREaT) Nursing and Midwifery Work Experience Program has been developed to encourage Year 10 high school students to experience the many aspects of nursing and midwifery in a clinical setting, while observing the team in action, prior to studying it with a State Training Provider or at university.
Over 4–5 consecutive days, students will rotate through many areas previously not available to school students to find out what it’s really like to be a nurse or midwife and what nurses and midwives really do.
Applications close Friday 13 March 2020. Click here for more information and to register.
