    The flexibility of watching lectures and completing course content in my own time around work commitments was extremely convenient. I enjoyed the camaraderie and lifelong friendships established with other external students through participation in collaborate sessions, residential schools, and group assessment tasks.

    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.
