  • 6. Calvary Graduate Nurse Transition Program Launceston

My name is Melanie but I go by Mel. I was born and raised in Launceston and completed all my schooling and university degree in Tasmania. I completed my Bachelor of Nursing with UTAS in 2012. I actually commenced working with Calvary in CSSD (theatre sterilising department) while I was studying my nursing degree and was lucky enough to get a graduate position at Calvary and have stayed working with them ever since. Before commencing my role as Graduate Coordinator for Calvary Launceston I worked on Findlay ward as a level 2 nurse and have completed my Graduate Diploma specialising in orthopaedics.

Supporting grad nurses throughout their graduate year is something that I have always been passionate about and I am always fascinated with trying to figure out the best ways to help support graduates in their own individual way. I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity throughout my time with Calvary to work on all of the wards at both Launceston campuses and just love the variety that I get within my current role to work with grads on all of the different wards.

Outside of work I love running and being outdoors. I have a 4-year-old Labrador that is extremely energetic and loves to take me for walks and an almost 2 year old boy who is just as energetic. If you can’t find me outside then I am most likely baking or reading a book. I am extremely grateful to have my dream job of supporting new graduate nurses and I look forward to working with and supporting my new 2025 graduate group.
