The Bachelor of Nursing is a professionally accredited degree and will qualify you to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia as a Registered Nurse (Division 1). This degree is an accredited program of study recognised by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Nursing, you will be ready to work as a safe, collaborative, articulate and ethical registered nurse. This degree will prepare you to be responsive to local, national and regional healthcare needs, and aware of emerging global healthcare trends.

Practical Training

In order to complete the Bachelor of Nursing and qualify as a Registered Nurse, you are required to undertake two types of practical experience: simulation blocks and professional experience placements. You will complete simulation blocks (in each year of study which can be undertaken as a 4-day intensive or weekly class). These must be completed full-time and on campus at one of CDU's many simulation suites located across Australia. CDU currently has simulation suites in Darwin (NT), Alice Springs (NT), Sydney (NSW), Brisbane (QLD, via external partner provider), Melbourne (VIC, via external partner provider) and Perth (WA, via external partner provider).

You will complete 880 hours of professional experience placements across the three years of the course. There is opportunity for placement in a variety of healthcare settings including regional and remote locations.

The location you apply for is where placements will be located. By adding a location as a preference, you confirm your understanding that you will be required to attend placements in the designated state. Travel and associated costs are to be covered by students themselves.

Reasonable travel within the nursing course is an expectation. If you live in the state you receive an offer for, travel time and distance can include up to 2 hours one-way for metropolitan or rural areas. Where possible, your PEP is sourced within 150 kilometres radius of where you are currently living.

Regardless of your study mode or pattern, you are required to complete professional experience placement on a full-time basis, with rotating shifts across a seven-day week. These may include night, weekend and public holiday shifts. Professional experience placement may occur outside of your semester of enrolment.

As Bachelor of Nursing student, you may broaden your global outlook with additional international study tours and exchanges.
