Bachelor of Nursing

Nurses are fundamental to health care—one of the essential roles of any hospital or health care setting is to give nursing care. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why motivated, skilful and compassionate nurses are key to healthcare in the future. We emphasise independent study and inquiry as well as team work.

This degree builds a foundation for nursing practice: effective and appropriate professional and caring behaviours and their relevance to holistic health care; and reflective nursing practice skills. It draws on principles of biological, social and behavioural sciences; communication skills; collaboration in a health care team; effective and culturally sensitive practice; responsibility for professional development; and effective time management. As a registered nurse you’ll have the opportunity to travel the world, work in diverse clinical areas, and meet interesting people in interesting places.

The Bachelor of Nursing comprises 144 credit points of core subjects. This is a prescribed course if you’re seeking registration with the New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Board.
