Unit description
Consolidates learning across the Bachelor of Nursing in a capstone double-weighted unit, which provides students with the opportunity to experience, through simulation, several problem-based learning scenarios, in preparation for their role as a graduate registered nurse. Students will complete self-directed work prior to each module which will see them draw upon their learning from a variety of units throughout their course. Students will complete a 240-hour immersive professional experience placement.

During each tutorial or laboratory, the chosen case study will provide you with the opportunity to consider and demonstrate how you are meeting the Registered Nurse Standards for Practice (NMBA, 2016).
