"Doing my three-week placement in Weipa made me more drawn to becoming a rural and remote nurse and giving back to my people. I was able to have a more hands-on experience: applying cultural competencies and applying competent nursing skills to my people. This made me realise my potential as a future registered nurse."

"I would highly suggest studying at JCU on top of other universities, it has a very personal approach to it that a lot of my friends from home aren't getting. JCU has a focus on the rural and remote communities as well, which is really massive in the health care industry because there's a big disparity between rural and urbanised areas, which is why I think a lot of people should consider this as their option."
