I came to Australia with the sole focus of providing better opportunities for me and my family. On the way, I discovered a purposeful career. I’ve tried my hand in many industries, but it’s nursing that stuck with me the most. A career in nursing aligned with my core values of caring for others and service. It fulfilled my intellectual appetite for working in the medical field.
After years of exploring various industries, Paula Baglieri discovered her true calling: a rewarding and profoundly impactful career. Her passion for healthcare and dedication to helping others ignited her interest in nursing, driving her to find the right educational pathway. That’s when she saw the Diploma of Nursing at IHNA, a program designed to provide hands-on training, invaluable industry exposure, and a solid foundation for a prosperous future in healthcare.
At IHNA, we are committed to elevating the student experience by pushing the boundaries of vocational education, whether online or on-campus.
