Nursing makes a smooth transition at Bairnsdale
2014 student group from both Monash University and Federation University
Delivery of the nursing program at the School of Rural Health – East Gippsland education centre at Bairnsdale continues following the transition of Monash’s Churchill campus to Federation University in January. The program has been well established over the last two and a half years. This year sees 14 students in Bairnsdale – 10 Monash students who enrolled before the changeover and four from Federation University.
Nursing educator/coordinator, Beth Jacob, said the transition has been a smooth one as the program for both groups of students is identical. The nursing program will continue in Bairnsdale after the last Monash students graduate, with Federation University students using Monash’s tutorial rooms and skills lab.
