Nurses

Mater is always looking for new and innovative ways to reach our future workforce.  Here at Mater we are working on developing a program for Student Nurses who are currently in their second or third year of a Bachelor of Nursing degree. 

The Student Nurse Program is a formal program which will help student nurses to further develop and refine their skills along with consolidating their knowledge and university studies. 

Our aim is to invest in those who believe in our Mission and Values and prepare them for a future within our organisation.
