MyDay at CSU for nursing and paramedics
22 APRIL 2015
Fifty-two senior high school students from around NSW who are interested to become nurses or paramedics will attend a MyDay at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Thursday 23 April. MyDays give students a taste of living and learning on campus, and provide useful information about courses and study options. Students also receive information about opportunities and support available, and about how to achieve their goals. Ms Sonja Maria, lecturer in the Bachelor of Clinical Practice (Paramedic) in the School of Biomedical Sciences at CSU in Bathurst, said, "We are excited to present MyDay again this year to high school students. The paramedic team have organised some fun activities on the lawn outside of the simulation centre. The trauma car, various stretchers and other equipment will be on show for the students to explore, including some mock patients." Similarly, students interested to study nursing will experience the clinical simulation ward in the CSU School of Nursing, Midwifery and Indigenous Health, and learn about the increasingly technical role of nurses in a range of settings.
