“Do not miss this fantastic opportunity to engage with the nursing profession and connect with industry leaders here in WA. Come along with questions, an open mind and realise the endless possibilities that a nursing career offers,” Adjunct Professor Ward said.
Visitors can gain practical take-home advice and skills from a range of educational seminars covering CV and interview skills, rural and remote employment opportunities, choosing a career in mental health and graduate opportunities.
