Nursing pathway provides bright future

Danielle recently completed a Certificate III in Individual Support with Federation TAFE and hopes to go on to study a Diploma of Nursing as part of the free TAFE program. She feels that completing the pathway course before applying for the Diploma set her up for success.

I got into the diploma without having a ATAR or anything … And I did the two years [diploma] which pushed me into a second year bachelor student. I’ll get that bachelor degree that I was told I could never get. "
