UniSA Library resources

When you are on placement, you can still access the Library's catalogue and electronic resources. You can use My Record from the student portal or the Library's home page or the catalogue, to see which books you have on loan, and to renew them if possible.

Remember that the UniSA Library - list of ARNTP resources is there to help you with your studies.

Your plans for the future!

Now that you have completed your exams and attended the workplace workshops, what are your plans for the future?

How different do you think it is getting a job in Australia compared to your home country, and what do you forsee as the challenges you may face when you start your work life in this country?

Do you need to have a resume in your country? Do you have the interview process which we use in Australia?

What about the competency standards of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery council? Do you have the same sort of standards in your home country?

We would really love to have some feedback on these issues. Tell us what you think as we would really love to know!

Staying safe.

We were sorry to hear about some incidents which have happened recently with fellow students. This comes as a timely reminder for everyone to make sure they are aware of some of the strategies you can use to stay safe.

The South Australian Police Force have some safety tips on their website that are well worth reading. You can link through to this website for information about safety at night, being safe at home or on public transport and hints on safe driving whilst outside of Adelaide. Link Here.

UniSA also have information on personal safety.

We hope these tips help to keep you safe.

Best wishes

Exams next week

Next week, you have your Nursing examination 2 - Acute care, and you may be starting to worry!

If you went to the Exam Workshop last week, you have lots of different strategies to relieve stress. It's very important to be calm and relaxed during the exam situation, in order to do well.

Practise your breathing, visualisation and meditation exercises and get lots of rest. Be ready to perform at your best on the day.

Don't forget to arrive with plenty of time to spare, so that you are not in a panic. A bottle of water is also a good idea and maybe some chocolate or nuts to keep the brain going!

Good Luck!
