Monash University

Program

The Monash Bachelor of Nursing develops through theme studies in human bioscience; the sociocultural context of health and illness; clinical assessment and nursing practice; and professional practice, which come together in nursing practice as demonstrated in the final-year clinical placement units.

Throughout the course you will connect theory to clinical practice, with plenty of opportunities for clinical experience in diverse settings throughout Victoria. You may also take up the opportunity to study and undertake clinical placements in Sweden or the UK.

Your clinical and professional skills will be reinforced through time spent working with excellent mentors and students enrolled in other health science courses (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, paramedic practice, medical imaging, nutrition and dietetics, social work), enabling you to develop the important capacity for interdisciplinary service delivery and inter-professional education.

This hands-on program provides you with the knowledge and expertise to deliver high-quality nursing care, with leadership capabilities in a range of healthcare contexts. A significant proportion of your learning takes place in Monash’s state-of-the-art clinical learning environments, the closest possible simulation of the realities of hospital-based nursing.
