CVD claims around 50,000 Australian lives per year and is set to increase due to the aging population within Australia (Carrington, 2008). These facts clearly demonstrate the detrimental impact the disease has on Australian society currently.

The project was carried out within the Carer Counselling Program by an Indigenous worker and Aboriginal Liaison project worker employed by Carers Victoria. The project aimed to explore the impact of caring on indigenous carers in terms of their emotional, physical, social and financial wellbeing and to identify more appropriate ways to provide support to Indigenous carers and their families. Carers Victoria felt it was extremely important to explore ways in which the CCP-Vic program could better meet the needs of Indigenous carers. Of specific concern for Carers Victoria, was Indigenous carers identification of their feelings of depression, grief and loss, anger, anxiety, fear and guilt as a result of their caring role. These carers also highlighted an increased sense of social isolation and the interrelated difficulties associated with the financial impact of caring.
Main Body The clinical environment with its potentially unpleasant new experiences can have a big impact on a student (White and Ewan 1991cited in Stuart 2007). The relationship between mentor and student are very important to the learning experience (Davidson 2005). It is important for the mentor to introduce and orientate the students to the placement environment, explain emergency procedure according to local policy and integrate them into the team of staff within the first 24 hours (RNC 2007). In the case of the students used as an example here an initial introduction to the department and its procedures and key members were held within the first 24 and the initial Interviews within the first 48 hours. The goal of the initial interview is to determine the learning needs of the student while encouraging self-directed learning and achievable goal setting following the principles of Andragogy (Knowles 1990).

In the social learning activity, we conducted a survey to learn how individuals in our community experience and cope with stress. We acknowledged the importance of the federal laws and procedures created to protect patient privacy.

This allowed our class to become informed on the process of admitting a patient in the field.
