Our students had the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a nursing student, thanks to an engaging and hands-on session facilitated by Rikke from La Trobe University and current nursing student, Jackson.

Throughout the day, students gained valuable insights into careers in health and nursing. They explored nursing pathways, entry requirements, and the differences between Enrolled Nurses (ENs) and Registered Nurses (RNs). Information about salary expectations and helpful secondary school subjects was also shared. Jackson provided a personal perspective, sharing his journey as a nursing student and highlighting the strong support La Trobe offers its students.

The visit included a tour of the university’s training ward, where students rotated through practical activities in small groups. They learned:

  • How to take blood pressure
  • CPR techniques through a fun and interactive session — even Mr Bristol and Ms Kerr joined in!
  • Proper handwashing techniques to meet healthcare hygiene standards
  • How to measure heart rates
  • How to diagnose patients using case studies and lifelike medical mannequins

This immersive experience gave our students a deeper understanding of the healthcare profession and inspired many to consider a future in nursing or health related pathways.
