“I am happy I made The Gordon my study destination; I could not have had it any better. Being a TAFE, I felt the practical approach and real experience would help me further my studies and career path.
The teachers are a great asset. The amount of care and attention they provide exceeds expectations. I go to class every morning knowing that I have their full backing and support. Lessons are broken down into very simple and concise parts, our nursing labs are fully equipped with state of the art tools and our lesson plans are set up to match the current needs of the workforce.
The students are very welcoming and ready to interact and I have made friends who have become family.”

"I chose to study nursing at The Gordon because of its fantastic reputation and the pathways to Deakin University.
Studying at The Gordon opened up many opportunities. The teachers are all nurses and the facilities are a great learning tool, providing time to practice our nursing care. Work placement provided the best learning experience, allowing me to use what I had learnt in the classroom in real situations. I’m a visual learner so I really enjoyed the focus on hands-on practical work.
I’m now undertaking my graduate program at Epworth Hospital in Geelong, and plan on studying my Bachelor of Nursing at Deakin next year, while working at Epworth."
