Meet one of our students
After Year 12, I wanted to start my career in nursing because of the opportunities in the long term. Eventually I'd like to specialise in critical and emergency care. Then I'd like to volunteer, maybe in Africa or somewhere where they don't have a reliable health system like we do here.
