Mr Frank Donnelly
To link to this page, please use the following URL: Biography/ BackgroundFrank began his nursing career at the Royal Adelaide Hospital after graduation from the University of South Australia (Salisbury). After a stint in neurosurgery Frank moved to the Intensive Care Unit, an environment where he spent the majority of his clinical life. After completing post graduate qualifications in ICU a shift in direction saw him move into education, particularly clinical education. Further study and completion of a Master of Nursing, with a thesis examining the lived experience of a tracheostomy tube change, led Frank toward a PhD, a study which combines his primary interest in nursing knowledge and the role of clinical placement experiences.
Frank is currently the Coordinator for Pre-Registration Programs including the Bachleor of Nursing and the Master of Clinical Nursing grad-entry program. Qualifications
