SARAH IN THE SPOTLIGHT

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? WHY HEALTH?

Nursing is a massive passion of mine. It has been for a very long time. All through high school, I knew what I wanted to do and I have a passion to help people. Nursing seems to be something that suits that criteria in my eyes. We are always going to need nurses.

The growth rate is increasing and predicted to increase for the next couple of years. Salary is also not bad but regardless of the salary, I still would have gone with the health industry because that is what I am passionate about. I didn’t choose nursing because of the salary.

I applied for a dual award that connects a TAFE South Bank Diploma of Nursing then goes straight into the Bachelor of Nursing at QUT. As soon as I finish studying at TAFE, which is a one-year course, I can work as an EN (enrolled nurse).
