Studying in La Trobe College Australia gave me the chance to get into my dream course.
I studied at La Trobe College Australia. I started studying in 2020 and then I went off to La Trobe University to finish my studies in 2022.
So, during 2020 all the studies were online. I loved studying online, making study groups and catching up with my friends online.
Studying in La Trobe College Australia gave me the chance to get into my dream course, which was the Bachelor of Nursing in La Trobe University. And then from there onwards, I have gone on to complete my bachelor’s degree. Since then, completing the bachelor’s, I’ve gone on to get a graduate year at Austin Health, which is one of the biggest hospitals here in Melbourne. I’ve also been able to gain employment here at La Trobe College Australia.
First of all, I got into a graduate year at Austin Health, and Austin is one of the biggest tertiary hospitals in Melbourne. I actually got nominated to the to be the Best Graduate Nurse of the Year as well, just last year.
Since then I have gone on and I’ve applied to be part of a postgraduate program where we transition into the intensive care unit.
I think La Trobe College Australia gave me an excellent platform to then go off and do further studies here in Australia. So, if you are ever in doubt and you do not know where to start, I think La Trobe College Australia is an excellent place to start.
