Make a difference through nursing with CQUniversity's accredited Bachelor of Nursing. This course will prepare you for a rewarding and diverse career as a competent and effective Registered Nurse (Division 1) General.

Clinical learning is a key element of the Bachelor of Nursing and you will be required to undertake 800 hours of professional experience placement in a variety of settings with different health organisations. You will develop your skills and knowledge through a combination of theoretical and extensive clinical learning experiences. You will be required to participate in simulated learning activities in your nominated Clinical Learning Centre at one of the CQUniversity accredited delivery sites prior to being deemed eligible to attend professional practice placement.

You will seek evidence to ensure safe quality practice and act in a professional, ethical and compassionate manner. In addition, you will learn to nurture the development of nursing as a practice discipline and demonstrate leadership in healthcare.
