Mr Peter Hartin ~ Lecturer - Clinical Skills

Mr Peter Hartin, RN, BNSc, MNSt 

I love teaching students about nursing. I have worked as a Registered Nurse within both metropolitan and regional areas. Over the past years I have been a clinical educator for nursing students and this remains an area of personal interest for research and education.

I hold a Bachelor of Nursing Science and Master of Nursing Studies. I have been associated with the Nursing, Midwifery and Nutrition at James Cook University since 2009, as sessional tutorial leader, laboratory leader and clinical facilitator. I commenced my current position as Lecturer in January 2012. Having trained at JCU I thoroughly enjoy being a part of the JCU teaching team. I love working alongside students, helping them to develop confidence, understanding and skills.

I look forward to continuing to encourage and support students throughout their time at JCU. A personal interest of mine is in regard to the transition of student nurses into registered nurses. I believe that it is imperative that we do all we can to support our students in this transition, in an attempt to help them become successful and efficient nurses.
