Graduate Nurse Careers Program

Date: Monday 22 May & Tuesday 30 May 2023

Time: 9.30am – 4.30pm

Location: City West campus, Allan Scott Auditorium (H2-16)

Attention all final-year nursing students!

Are you eager to find out more about graduate programs and employment available to you when you graduate? Join our Graduate Nurse Careers Program and connect with employers as they share information about their organisation and guide you through their application process. You’ll hear from both the public and private sector, as well as from graduates who have commenced their careers in nursing. There will be numerous opportunities for students to ask questions of all presenters throughout the day.

The program is held over two days, but please note that the second session is a repeat of the first, so it is not necessary to attend both sessions unless you wish to do so. The content for both sessions will be similar, although different representatives may be present at each session.

View the full schedule below and register now to secure your spot. If you're a regional student, you can register for the online event.
