Meet Amanda

I was at a time in my life where I could put my interests and passions first and focus on getting the best out of my degree. I wanted to help people in my community during COVID and the bushfires, and nursing is a highly rewarding career where I can do this. I love the opportunity to be the best part of someone's worst day. Amanda Bachelor of Nursing, UOW Eurobodalla
