- Develop and apply nursing knowledge and skills to approach all interactions with empathy in a culturally safe, respectful manner where cultural understanding and reconciliation is valued, ensuring that all feel safe.
- Conduct nursing assessments to establish priorities and inform planning; provide skilful nursing interventions for people across the lifespan within the scope of a Registered Nurse and evaluate responses to determine effectiveness.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL)
WIL is a vital component of this course, and in the first semester, you will have the opportunity to participate in a ten-day placement to accurately gauge the realities of a career as a registered nurse. Over the next three years, you will be required to complete a minimum of 800 hours of clinical practice across a range of local and regional healthcare settings - including areas such as community care, mental health, aged care, medical and surgical care, rehabilitation, palliative care, operating theatre, emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU).
Participating placement venues include: Canberra Hospital, North Canberra Hospital, Goulburn Base Hospital, and several additional private healthcare clinics in and around ACT, Sydney and regional New South Wales, e.g., Bega.
A core component of the UC nursing coursework takes place within the simulated environment, where students have the opportunity to develop and hone clinical skills and behaviours in spaces that look and feel like the clinical environment. UC nursing students can expect to spend hours rehearsing and practicing together utilising a myriad of simulation trainers, manikins, emerging technology (such as AI and VR), and even actors as they prepare for clinical practice.

Nursing is a diverse career and a UC trained RN can comfortably look for work in the hospital sector, private health care, primary health care, rural and remote health care and military support.
