A nursing lecturer was recognised with an award last week for more than 10 years teaching service at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo. Ms Lyn Croxon, lecturer at the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Indigenous Health in Dubbo, said she had seen many changes during this time. “It is easy to stay in a profession which you enjoy, and the last 10 years at Charles Sturt University have been demanding but a lot of fun,” Ms Croxon said. “I teach both theoretical and clinical classes to on campus and distance education students. For the last year I have been Course Coordinator for the Bachelor of Nursing. This degree is taught to over 1 500 students across the University’s five campuses and by distance education. I coordinated the clinical placements for students across the Greater Western Area Health Service region for eight years and appreciate the support that the regional health services offer to our students. When I call or visit a health facility in the region, I often find I am speaking to a Charles Sturt University graduate who has returned to a local health facility to work as a Registered Nurse.”
