Would you like to work in nursing while you study? Then consider the RUSON program!

The Registered Undergraduate Student of Nursing program in Australia supports students and the healthcare workforce. After completing first year, students can work in paid roles within health services while continuing their degree. RUSONs assist nurses and midwives with delegated clinical and non-clinical tasks in hospitals.

The role builds practical skills, confidence, and professional identity through real experience. Duties include personal care, vital signs, patient mobility, and ward support.

Students gain income, experience, and smoother transition to graduate roles, while services strengthen staffing and care continuity.
