Interested in studying Nursing @ Adelaide?
Nursing at the University of Adelaide was created from industry demand to prepare graduates who are more "clinically-trained" and work ready. During the three year program, students gain extensive practical experience in the clinical setting, more so than is taught in many Australian university programs. This program has a significant and extensive clinical focus supported by academic rigour.
The key features of the Bachelor of Nursing program are:
- Emphasis on health care as a dynamic and ever-changing system
- Focus on practice
- Reliance on experiential learning
- Philosophy of person-centered nursing
- Increasing emphasis on health, health promotion and primary care-led health services
- Preparation for evidence-based practice
- Emphasis on developing team-working skills
More information on the Bachelor of Nursing is available on the University's Degree Finder.
