Nursing State Exam Prep Sessions 2016
Pacific nursing students attended our 2016 nursing state exam preparation sessions. These were facilitated and supported by all three DHBs – Waitemata DHB, Auckland DHB and Counties Manukau Health. Of the 30 Pacific nursing students attending, 73% passed their state exam and of those 77% had secured fulltime employment less than two months later.
