Overview

This course will prepare students for a rewarding and diverse career as a competent and effective Registered Nurse (Division 1) General. Clinical learning is a key element of this course and students will be required to undertake 800 hours of professional experience placement in a variety of settings with different health organisations. Students will develop their skills and knowledge through a combination of theoretical and extensive clinical learning experiences including simulated training across the University's nationally located Clinical Learning Centres which simulates a real-world setting for students to safely practice in. Through this course students will acquire skills to provide person-centred care and collaborate with other members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team.
