Bachelor of Nursing degree at Avondale College Australia
The three-year Bachelor of Nursing degree allows students to become registered nurses, caring for people across a wide range of settings. It offers students practical experience in various clinical fields, which allows the concepts of health, illness and nursing care strategies to be applied to all patients regardless of age. While allowing the student to choose an in-depth focus on a clinical area of personal interest in the final year of study, the course also gives students the opportunity to develop skills in problem-solving and in critical thinking.
The first semester of the course may be undertaken on either the Lake Macquarie Campus or the Sydney Campus. Subsequent semesters are based at the Sydney Campus that is co-located with the Sydney Adventist Hospital (the “San”).
Students may commence the course in the first semester, or part-time students can enter the program in either semester of the academic year.
