Work Experience Opportunity
GREaT WA Nursing and Midwifery Work Experience Program
The Get Real Experience and Try (GREaT) Nursing and Midwifery Work Experience Program has been developed to encourage high school students to experience nursing prior to studying it with a State Training Provider or at university.
The program has been developed for Year 10 high school students to experience the many aspects of nursing and midwifery in a clinical setting while observing the team in action. Over five consecutive days students will rotate through many areas previously not available to school students to find out what it's really like to be a nurse or midwife and what nurses and midwives really do.
The program runs between school terms 2 to 4. The exact intake dates will vary between each hospital and students can submit up to three placement preferences upon application.
Applications for the 2019 GREaT Program close 5.00pm Friday 8 March.
Late applications will not be considered. Successful applicants and their schools will be notified via email by Friday 5 April 2019.
