Opportunities for Student and Graduate Nurses

As one of Day Hospitals Australia’s Strategic Objectives, we are looking at workforce issues and the challenges facing our members and the health care sector.

There are considerable opportunities for both student and graduate nurses to gain experience working in day hospitals around Australia.

Initial conversations and meetings to facilitate the process of placing student and graduate nurses into Day Hospitals in 2022/2023 are currently taking place with Universities and Day Hospitals around the country. Click here for a list of involved Universities.

The Universities we have spoken with have expressed that they are keen to place students as soon as possible in the sector and will provide full support to the student and the day hospital. We are also looking at models to support nurses preceptor/buddy students and it is a fabulous opportunity for professional development and exposure to the educational opportunities that are available.

If you were unable to attend the information sessions held by Michelle Bibby (Project Manager) recently, a further session will take place on Thursday 7th April, please contact anne.hentschke@dayhospitalsaustralian.net.au for further information.

This is an excellent opportunity to attract students and promote the Day Hospital sector.
