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.

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.

CDU currently has simulation suites in Darwin (NT), Alice Springs (NT), Sydney (NSW), Brisbane (QLD), and Melbourne (VIC).

In addition to the simulation blocks you will complete 640 hours of professional experience placements across the two years of the course. There is opportunity for placement in a variety of healthcare settings including regional and remote locations. Students are responsible for any associated travel and accommodation costs. Placements are based on the students' residential address, although students may need to travel depending on student location and placement availability.

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.
