The Undergraduate Cadetship Program, part of the Ramsay’s Nursing and Midwifery Academy, is designed to support enrolled and registered nursing and midwifery cadets during their undergraduate studies.

Ramsay’s Chief Nurse and Clinical Services Director, Dr Bernadette Eather, said that since the program was announced in May, almost 200 cadets have been recruited for the program.

“We have had a lot of interest in the Undergraduate Cadetship Program, across every State we operate in,” Dr Eather said.

“The program supports our new cadets in obtaining their qualifications, through providing them with valuable hands-on clinical experience, support and supervision, and provide also provide them with the opportunity to be employed in a Ramsay facility as an assistant in nursing, midwifery, personal care assistants or in a support service role.

Positions on offer for cadets include assistants in nursing and undergraduate enrolled nurse or registered nurse roles in a range of areas including operating suites, maternity, mental health, cardiac services and rehabilitation.

As well as a job within a Ramsay hospital while they study, cadets can complete their placements during their course at a Ramsay hospital and will receive a guaranteed graduate interview when they finish their studies.

Dr Eather said the cadetship program will help develop leading nurses of the future.

“Ramsay Health Care nurses are committed to providing excellent health care for their patients, and we’re committed to helping them grow their skills and excel in their nursing careers, starting from when they are undergraduate.”

Manager Allied Health and Nursing at Chisholm, Chad Eduati, said the cadetship program was a win for students.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for all Chisholm Diploma of Nursing students. Ramsay will provide our students with a great insight into so many diverse nursing speciality areas. We look forward to hearing from our inaugural group about their placement experiences.”
