Bachelor of Nursing (Pre-registration)

Nurses are highly respected members of the community. They help treat patients in all sorts of health care settings and touch lives with empathy and compassion. Nursing is flexible, exciting and challenging. It's a rewarding profession full of problem-solvers and pillars of strength.

Our Bachelor of Nursing supports you in becoming a confident and responsible registered nurse. You will:

• develop hands-on skills in high-tech simulation settings
• benefit from clinical and non-clinical placements across metropolitan and rural locations
• explore contemporary issues around health promotion, maintenance, advocacy and care
• undertake interprofessional learning with other health care students

You'll emerge with a professional qualification recognised Australia-wide, ready to pursue rewarding roles in rural communities, operating theatres, emergency wards, and a multitude of other health care environments.

From early in your degree, you will attend a combination of lectures and clinical placements, allowing the integration of theory into practice. In later years of the degree you will have further opportunities to blend theory and practice. University-based study and clinically-based learning are central to student learning.

A strong commitment to the degree is required, as teaching activity extends beyond the standard semester period. You are required to attend compulsory skills and simulation classes. You will also attend compulsory clinical placements, which involve a range of shifts (including weekends). Clinical placements require significant time commitment and may include shifts across a 24 hour roster.

Part-time students can complete the Bachelor of Nursing by following the prescribed course structure which can be obtained by contacting the Adelaide Nursing School. The courses to be completed each semester are non-negotiable and students must attend the associated clinical placements.
