The Bachelor of Nursing programme enables graduates to enter practice with a sound knowledge base of nursing theory, health studies, biological sciences, research and professional practice skills. Theoretical and nursing practice experiences are balanced throughout the programme. Practice experiences occur in a wide range of community and health care settings, and comprise fifty percent of the programme. Throughout your nursing practice experiences you will be supported and guided by a registered nurse preceptor and nursing lecturer.
