STRU-CNVRN v.2 Registered Nurse Conversion Non-Registration Nurse Stream (BSc Nursing)
Major/Minor/Stream Overview
This stream is designed to build on the professional knowledge and experience of nurses, taking the study of research, evidence informed practice and the biological and behavioural sciences underlying nursing to greater depth. Emphasis is placed upon the development of professional nursing competencies and on enhancing ones capability as a member of an inter-professional team in a changing health care system. The stream will establish a basis for future postgraduate study for specialisation and research. Completion of this stream leads to a Bachelor award but does not lead to registration with the Nurses and Midwives Board in Australia.
