The Bachelor of Nursing adopts a narrative and inquiry-based approach to learning, integrating clinical placements in major teaching hospitals, community and other healthcare settings. Students undertake up to 880 hours of supervised clinical placements throughout the program, in a range of clinical settings. During their final year, clinical placement opportunities may be available in fields such as critical care, emergency medicine, paediatrics, aged care, rural, and mental health. For more information, visit Bachelor of Nursing at UQ.
Placements in the nursing program are secured with a number of providers and in their first year, students will be allocated a placement within 1.5 hours of their residential address where possible. To ensure they receive a broad range of experiences, students may undertake placement activities at clinical partner hospitals and health services including Metro North, Metro South, Mater Hospitals, aged care nursing homes, West Moreton Hospital and Health Service, private providers, and regional and rural health settings.
