Excerpt:

Hear from Fiona Wilks, a current student at TUC, who is enrolled at Charles Sturt, transitioning as a Registered Nurse into Aged Care.

"Shannon soughts out all the work placement. I've been to Forster, i've been to Taree and i'm going to Taree hospital, anywhere you'd like to go Shannon's more than helpful to get you into somewhere local. And so it sort of has been a tremendous help financially, to be able to stay in the local area and also do the work placement as well."

This is a 6 Degrees Podcast.
