“I feel so blessed that I was able to experience a remote area nursing placement in the NT. The friendships, memories, and valuable knowledge I gained are priceless. I hope to become a RAN one day and make all my preceptors proud of the knowledge they gave to me. Big thank you to CRANAplus for this scholarship. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and the support I received.”
