Closed Borders

by Susan Timpani

I’m Susan, I’m a Registered Nurse and, as part of my PhD, I co-created the Closed Borders podcast with six international nursing students. In these episodes, students talk about their trauma, when, in 2020, the COVID pandemic hit, and one by one, their support structures crumbled. As we listen to their stories we might learn to provide better support for international nursing students.

  1. Students' storytelling came at great emotional cost. Their stories are rich

    and raw, and they hold layers of meaning. Students selected their podcast content from data collected from many conversations and recorded interviews. Co-created episodes demonstrate the benefits of working in partnership with international nursing students. Mid-crises research has demonstrated...

  2. I’m Tony and I come from China. It was not mandatory in Australia to wear

    a mask here at the beginning of COVID, but us being very cautious, we already started to wear masks.. So, the tutor asked him to remove the mask or leave the class, which, in the end, he had to compromise, and he removed the mask. Some students said, "This is a total racism, and he should report…

  3. My name is Aurianne and I am from the Philippines. You hear from the news

    all the deaths, all the positive cases in your country. And then, of course, you're going to worry about your family. You don't know what's really happening because it's a virus. And then you don't know how serious it is. We don't have any information about it. And also, at the same time, I'm...

  4. Hi, I’m Cat and I was born in Brazil. So, the school sent us an email one day

    terminating our program, and telling us to go home. It was awful. And my family as well, just reading that from the other side of the world, seeing them terminating our program, sending us home. It wasn't even something we were considering because it would be six different flights, staying in...

  5. Hello, my name’s Liana and I come from China. The 1st of February 2020

    the border of Australia suddenly closed and I was still in China. So, it's a shock news for me. We could come back via another country like Thailand. While we waited there, we have no idea what we can do and how we can start the new semester at the University. The University of course cannot help...

  6. My name is Aida and I came from Thailand. I lost my job. I live

    with a little savings, but the huge strain was the Uni fee that international students have to pay. And we can't make a wrong step with that because the Uni didn't allow us to pay later, be late with payments, or do the installment plan. It feels like, "Did I make the right decision? Did they see...

  7. Hi, I’m Lisa and I come from Korea. So Western people, they blamed Asian

    countries that they spread this virus. So there is lots of discrimination that happened back in that time. So although I'm wearing a mask and I went out, people look at me, give a look, and stare at me…I was very scared.

  8. International Students COVID-19

    This Podcast was an examinable artefact for my PhD in nursing. My research explored the experiences of international nursing students, studying in South Australia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The meaning of participants’ experiences is located in the co-creative process, the production, and the...
