Hear from our nursing students
La Trobe provides unique clinical experiences in leading hospitals, along with on-campus clinical simulations. Nursing is my passion. I am looking forward to using my skills and knowledge to help make a difference to the people I care for.
Studying nursing at La Trobe’s Shepparton Campus is a fantastic experience. The fully equipped Clinical Learning Unit enabled me to safely practise clinical skills before going out on placement. Rural nursing placements are very hands-on, and I learned valuable teamwork and leadership skills that I’ll carry throughout my career.
La Trobe teachers are experts in their field. They're passionate and strive for the best in what they teach us. And they know me – I'm not just a number. Their practical teaching gave me a head start on the skills I used on placement.
