Student Profiles
Gabriella Aniana Lorca, Philippines
Diploma of Nursing
Gabriella chose MSIT because "the institute has a good reputation for sending their students to industry with competency, and they have the best level of training". Gabriella appreciates the great resources available to all students. "I think everything that MSIT provides for students is really useful, like the library access and the MSIT website where we are able to easily access the information that we need. Nursing students are able to access a computer drive where all our teachers' notes and PowerPoint presentations are kept which ensure that we do not miss anything". "My teachers are really helpful and they make sure that the student not only passes because of their knowledge, but because they can link their knowledge to practice in their chosen career. They also provide us with the most up to date information about the industry". "I would like to continue and do further study at University and become a qualified Registered Nurse. In the meantime I would like to finish this course and find work as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia."
