Do you know someone who is studying nursing? Or maybe you’ve always wondered what it’s like to start your own nursing career at the RCH? If this sounds like you or someone you know, our Graduate Nurse Program twilight sessions are for you!

Whether you’re currently studying nursing or completing VCE and exploring the path to nursing, our twilight sessions will offer a relaxed experience for future graduates to explore the RCH with guided tours and gain invaluable insights into the programs we offer.

You will also get the chance to meet a range of RCH nurses and former graduate nurses like Rona, who started her career in nursing after spending a lot of time in hospitals when her mum was going through treatment for cancer. “I saw how much love the nurses poured into mum’s care, and that’s when I knew I wanted to become a nurse,” she said.

After completing one of her placements at the RCH, Rona knew she wanted to work at the Children’s and quickly made it the top selection in her graduate applications.

“As a student, the nursing staff and ward culture were so supportive that it made me think, if this is my experience as a student, I can only imagine my experience as a grad nurse here! I wanted to work at the RCH ever since, and now I’m here.”

Throughout her journey, Rona has always had a deep admiration for nurse educators and already has her sights set on one day becoming a nurse educator herself to inspire the next generation of nurses.

The RCH Nursing Education team is also conducting a hybrid information webinar offering insight and information about our Graduate Nurse Programs and the application process.
