Rural Nursing Scholarships

Australian Rotary Health offered the Rotary Club of Sale’s Rural Nursing Scholarship in 2020-2021.

This scholarship provides opportunities for nursing students to complete a rural placement in their final year of study in a rural or remote area. It also encourages graduates to ultimately pursue a nursing career in rural Australia.

This year the scholarships were awarded to 6 nursing students. Each scholarship is worth $12,500 maximum.

SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT

BRITTNEY POTTS Brittney Potts was awarded the Rotary Club of Sale Rural Nursing Scholarship in 2021. Brittney told us this scholarship will be a huge help in assisting her with her goal of becoming a midwife.

“I believe you experience so many different aspects of nursing in a small hospital and I have found that I have become multi-skilled quite quickly. Rural hospitals give you a strong opportunity to develop your career as the support and education is wonderful, with educators eager for me to learn and do rolls where I have found in larger hospitals harder to come across.”

Brittney spent 6 weeks at Bairnsdale Regional Hospital for her final rural placement. During that time, she spent 2 weeks each gaining experience in theatre, the short stay unit, and high dependency unit.

During her Post Grad Placement at Central Gippsland Health in Sale, Brittney completed her final rotation at the Wilson Lodge Aged Care facility.

“I am so grateful of this scholarship as it has really helped me financially, especially moving houses and helping me buy a new computer to assist with my graduate year and next year applications.”

“I would highly recommend to the future grads to apply for this scholarship as it is such a help throughout your graduate year, I also have enjoyed writing these reports as it helps me reflect on how I am actually going in my current rotation.”
