NursingIn 2002 the Clinical School supported a new initiative by the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Flinders University. The first cohort of 20 nursing students began their Bachelor of Nursing degree in a new nursing campus at Renmark. Students are able to complete the full three-year degree at Renmark and in 2005 the annual intake of 20 students was increased to 30 students. Teaching takes place in well equipped facilities at Flinders University Rural Clinical School, which resides in the grounds of the Renmark Hospital. Teaching Facilities include a library, 24-hour access computer laboratory, classrooms and clinical skills laboratory. Two Nursing Lecturers and an Administrative Assistant are permanently based at Renmark. Additional lecturers travel from Adelaide weekly, or present lectures by videoconference. There are also several locally based casual lecturers. The fourth cohort of nursing students graduated in 2007. All graduates who have applied to a Graduate Nurse Program (GNP) have been successfully admitted to a program. A significant proportion of graduates have elected to undertake their GNP at a Riverland Health Service, and many Flinders University Nursing Graduates continue to work in the Riverland Region as Registered Nurses.
