Federation University - Mount Helen (Ballarat)
Overview
Study at Federation - rated #1 in Victoria for student support and teaching quality.*
The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) is a pathway for students who have achieved a standard of excellence in undergraduate studies to pursue higher degree studies.
There is an increasing expectation by governments and communities for evidence-based healthcare practice, as health policies impact on the way services are delivered to the community. In this context nurses, as the largest group of healthcare providers, are central to the implementation of new, evidence-based practices. This requires nurses to increase their knowledge and skills in research utilisation and application. Successful graduates will make significant contributions to healthcare and to the discipline of nursing, through their knowledge, research and evaluation skills.
The honours year primarily involves an independent research project conducted under supervision of an expert academic.
