Educational teaching chart used at the Northern District School of Nursing, Rowan Street, Bendigo. The Northern District School of Nursing opened in 1950 in to address the issues around nurse recruitment, training and education that had previously been hospital based. The residential school was to provide theoretical and in-house education and practical training over three years. The students would also receive practical hands-on training in the wards of associated hospitals. The Northern District School of Nursing operated from Lister House, Rowan Street, Bendigo. It was the first independent school of nursing in Victoria and continued until it closed in 1989 The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system, and they generally act in opposition to each other to maintain homeostasis. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is responsible for the "fight-or-flight" response, preparing the body for action, while the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is responsible for the "rest-and-digest" response, promoting relaxation and recovery.
