The graduate program gave me the experience I needed to further my chosen career in critical care nursing. During my graduate year I undertook placements in surgical and medical units and a specialty placement in Intensive Care. I applied for the Critical Care Novice Program towards the completion of my graduate year and was successful in gaining a position. The diverse range of opportunities I have been given has assisted me towards my journey to achieving my career goals.
