Bachelor of Nursing (3575) (109029D)

Nursing is an essential part modern healthcare, and high-quality, compassionate, respectful care is the benchmark for any world-class healthcare system. Notre Dame recognizes nursing as a dynamic, constantly evolving profession, and has designed a well-balanced program that delivers a perfect combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience in a range of clinical settings.

At Notre Dame, students will be given not only the knowledge and skills necessary to work as a registered nurse, but they will also acquire the ability to think critically that will help them tackle every challenge they confront. Students will also learn to speak up and advocate for people in their care, and adhere to the highest ethical standards. These are all highly prized attributes in the nursing profession.

Notre Dame nursing graduates are regarded as some of the best in Australia and are in demand. In fact, according to the current QILT (Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching) survey of academic institutions, 88.4 per cent of students found full-time employment after graduation, which is well above the national average. The university accepts only a limited number of students into this nursing program each year to ensure that they will be placed into an appropriate hospital or heath care setting for their practical experience components.
