Curriculum
The program is centred on four integrating themes: safety and quality, population health, cultural competency and evidence-based practice. These themes underpin the curriculum and represent core approaches that inform contemporary nursing practice. Students develop an understanding of the bio-psychosocial determinants of health and illness and integrate the concept of client centred care, as it is applied to the role of the Registered Nurse, across the areas of child, adolescent, adult and older adult care. Students also develop skills in communication, problem solving, decision making and client management.
State-of-the-art teaching facilities, incorporating practice-based laboratories, enable students to undertake a range of practical learning and simulated learning activities to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for professional nursing practice. Students then have the opportunity to apply their skills through clinical placements in metropolitan and rural health care settings from their first year of study.
