Major/Stream Overview

This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.


Students studying the Intensive Care Nursing Stream will cover all areas of general and surgical intensive care. Typically students will be registered nurses working in a level II - III Australian Council on Healthcare Standards classified intensive care unit where they will combine theoretical aspects of applied clinical sciences in a practice focused program, whilst caring for patients requiring multiple organ system support. The focus is on the needs of adult patients who face life threatening health disorders and may have various underlying health problems as a result of both acute and chronic disorders.



Major/Minor/Stream Organisation

Students need to stay in original stream as this is linked to the employment sector and scholarship.
