Since 2006, the UTAS School
of Nursing and Midwifery has offered the highly
regarded Bachelor of Nursing in partnership with
St Vincents and Mater Health, Sydney.
'A
unique partnership'This partnership
is the culmination of a unique partnership and shared
vision that students need a quality education and,
at the same time, a sense of belonging in health
care agencies where they undertake clinical practice.
For this reason, UTAS teaches the entire course
at SV&MHS. This approach allows for industry
based learning to be carried out at a centre of
excellence that covers a wide spectrum of health
care provision in both public and private sectors.
'Six
semesters over two years'The course
is unique in New South Wales. It runs for six semesters
over two years to enable students to accelerate
their nursing degrees. Two summer semesters are
utilised for study. In this way, we can offer what
is normally a three year program over two years.
Teaching is delivered by highly qualified academic
staff supported by experienced, practicing clinicians.
