The Bachelor of Science (Nursing) is a three year full-time or equivalent part-time course that prepares students to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. It provides a broad knowledge and skills base that will enable the graduate to act independently as well as interdependently within the health care context. The graduate will practice as a comprehensive registered nurse who has professional competence and who is responsible, accountable, empathetic and willing to participate in professional activities.
The course comprises three broad streams of study:
Nursing Concepts and Skills Applied Health Science Nursing Practice
The program relies on the goodwill of health agencies for the provision of clinical experience. Therefore, prospective students should understand that, under normal circumstances, they will be required to attend during the hours laid down by the clinical agency and that these may occur at times outside the identified semester weeks. Additionally, pre-identified clinical practice periods may change with minimal notice to students due to circumstances outside the control of the School.
Students who fail a clinical rotation as part of a nursing practice unit must be aware that the agency providing the subsequent rotation will be informed of the failure as part of standard risk management procedure. Students will be required to accept this as a condition of their enrolment. |
