Bachelor of Nursing
The Bachelor of Nursing programme educates and guides students in becoming a Professional Nurse and Midwife. Through learning experiences on campus, within communities and in various healthcare facilities, students will develop the behaviours, skills and capabilities they need to become leaders who value diversity, and who bring careful thought and innovation to their caring practice in nursing. You will become able to craft a person-centred, holistic, contemporary, evidence-informed and resource-sensitive caring practice to support the healthcare and wellbeing of individuals, groups and communities.
Nursing caring practice ranges from seemingly simple essential care activities through to complex, sometimes highly technical, care activities - whatever is necessary to support people to meet their self-care needs, stay or become healthy, and experience well-being. Nurses work with their healthcare colleagues across many different contexts to provide safe, quality person-centred care to people, families and communities who have multiple and varied self-care needs across the lifespan.
