You are invited to participate in our study ‘Exploring the experiences and career trajectory of Registered Undergraduate Students of Nursing and Midwifery’.

The aim of this project is to investigate the perceptions and experiences of Registered Undergraduate Students of Nursing (RUSON) and Midwives (RUSOM) working in Victorian health services. The findings will be used to inform strategies to support Registered Undergraduate Students of Nursing and Midwives in the workplace and their transition to professional practice.

This study is being conducted by the Deakin University Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research – which has collaborative partnerships with Alfred Health, Barwon Health, Eastern Health, Epworth Health, Monash Health, and Western Health. We would like to invite you to participate in an online survey, which will take about 5-10 minutes to complete, about your perspectives and experiences of being a RUSON or RUSOM or having RUSONs or RUSOMs working in your health service.

You can read the Plain Language Statement, which explains more about the study and what participation involves.
