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.
When applying for dentistry, I had university offers to other dental schools, however, I chose to study at La Trobe University, Bendigo, because of its rural focus. The course offered at La Trobe educates students specifically on rural health needs and how to best accommodate for rural patients.
