Students begin their nursing careers

Another group of eager students have started their Diploma of Nursing course at East Grampians Health Service.

The students will study through Federation TAFE in partnership with East Grampians Health Service for their two-year course.

The Certificate III in Individual Support has also commenced through Federation TAFE and is a one-year course. This has become a popular pathway to a health care career.

“Our Diploma of Nursing and Certificate III in Individual Support courses are part of our ‘grow our own’ strategy, whereby students are able to train close to home and eventually obtain employment at the health service,” chief executive Nick Bush said.

“This ensures we have an ongoing workforce of highly skilled nurses who live and work in Ararat and the surrounding region.”

If you would like further information or would like to enrol in either course, please contact Clare Stacpoole on c.stacpoole@federation.edu.au
