Course overview

This program is aligned with current Australian professional nursing and aged care standards of practice and prepares students for practice as Registered Nurses delivering high quality care to people of all ages and for a variety of settings. For example, hospitals, community settings, mental health settings, GP practices, clinics, rural and remote health services, and aged care facilities across Australia and the world. The program provides students with a combination of theory and clinical simulation in well-resourced labs and nursing wards, as well as significant amounts of professional experience (840 hours) in diverse health care settings within metropolitan, regional and rural environments. This type of preparation ensures students graduate as skilled, knowledgeable and highly employable nurses. The flexible delivery option allows the on-campus component of this program to be studied in intensive residential schools each semester, combined with online delivery and face-to-face clinical experience. This program is also an admission pathway to graduate-entry midwifery and mental health programs and other specialties within nursing and health care.
