Overview
The three year Bachelor of Nursing course is fully accredited by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council and offers a formal curriculum while placing strong emphasis on clinical experience.
The course focuses on the nurse-patient relationship and is highly practical in its orientation. Nursing students undertake a comprehensive university program, including 380 hours of intensive clinical practice each year in a variety of hospital, community and primary health care settings, where they are mentored by experienced Registered Nurses. Practicum experiences total 1120 hours throughout the degree, which is considerably more than other university nursing courses.
At the cornerstone of the Bachelor of Nursing degree at Notre Dame is a commitment to equip students with the skills and confidence to work in a variety of health care settings upon graduation. It is envisaged that graduates of this course are capable of providing high quality care in a compassionate, respectful and just manner.
The University of Notre Dame Australia accepts only a limited number of students into the Nursing course each year which enables all students to be placed in an appropriate hospital or health care setting for the practicum experience. The extensive support received from the nursing profession in Western Australia, has enabled the course to be developed to meet, and in many cases exceed, professional standards.Accreditation
