 What I really love about the Bachelor of Nursing is that you don't ever really feel like you're in a strict learning environment. It's always fun. It's always engaging and inviting. My name is Hannah and I'm an Indigenous student here, starting a Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Newcastle. Central Coast Clinical School has been absolutely amazing. We've got a state-of-the-art facilities here. The mannequins are so lifelike and it's really interesting because then when we go to the hospitals, it's such a similar experience that we're really not out of our depth. We feel really comfortable. My name's Emma and I study a Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Newcastle. We study a variety of different subjects, so we have like human bioscience. We learn about the body systems, we found nations where it's like law and ethics. Then we have clinical and then we also do a mental health course and an Aboriginal Indigenous study course. My favourite would be clinical. I'm a very hands-on person and I love just getting in there and learning real-world experience, especially our labs are a state-of-the-art. So, you know, you can practice and then actually go out into the hospitals and feel very safe and you know, confident within your practice. I've actually found the library to be a really good space. The library's here. They're actually a really nice place to study and focus. And the library here at the Central Coast Clinical School is actually catered to nursing and medical facilities so you can actually find what you're looking for quite easily. The teaching staff are so passionate about what they do and they are real nurses and real healthcare professionals. So, in your first year of nursing, you actually have the opportunity to apply for the collaborative program. The collaborative program is a work integrated learning program at the University of Newcastle which assigns students a hospital that they stay at for all of their years as a nursing student which really allows them the opportunity to get to know the workspace and get to know the people working at that hospital. And it really gives them that extra boost when applying for a job that they're really familiarised with all the equipment and the layout of the hospital. I originally didn't get into university straight away. I didn't get the correct ATAR and I was so devastated. And I heard that the University of Newcastle had different pathways such as open foundations and through that I found nursing and I immediately fell in love with it. And ever since then it's just been so rewarding and I'm learning new things every day and I'm really enjoying what I do. So to any students out there who maybe don't know what they want to do I would definitely recommend nursing for a degree.
