As you’re well aware, the COVID-19 pandemic is still rife in Victoria. As a result, clinical placement hours for nursing students are tight, which leaves our future nurses at risk of being unable to graduate.
On behalf of APNA, we’re inviting you and your practice to take part in APNA’s Student Nurse Placement Pilot Project and host one or many student nurses.
As an incentive, your practice will receive $300 per student you host. The student must be supervised by a registered nurse or nurse practitioner during the placement. Each placement lasts for three weeks. There are five placement periods to choose from. The first period starts on Monday 7 September 2020 and the last period starts Monday 14 December 2020.
Below are some useful resources to get your head around the project details:
Registration for the project closes Friday 14 August 2020.
To register for this project and host a student or three, please email APNA Ambassador and Founder, Sam Moses, via sam.moses@apna.asn.au.
Thank you for helping support the next generation of Australia’s nurses.
