Year 4, Bachelor of Nursing (Full-Time) students

It was a great honour to join the exchange programme at The University of Sydney Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery. We had a 2-week clinical placement in a respiratory ward in Royal North Shore Hospital, where we paired up with a registered nurse and provided hands-on nursing care to patients. We also visited the hospital museum and the neighbouring North Shore Private Hospital, where we learned the history of Australia’s medical system and the differences there between public and private health care. It was a fruitful and joyful experience to learn alongside friendly local students under the guidance of our professional clinical facilitator.
