The Bachelor of Nursing (H3H) is a contemporary and innovative course which will prepare you for work in a changing health care environment. With this highly regarded degree you will learn to become part of a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals. The Bachelor of Nursing (H3H) is a fast-tracked degree, meaning you will complete the full six semesters of study, including placements, over a two year period.

You will study on our Domain campus in Hobart, where you will be supported by a well-equipped simulated learning environment. During the course you'll also be given the opportunity to undertake work placements in both rural and metropolitan healthcare facilities. You will develop the knowledge and skills – and perhaps most importantly, the attitude – needed to offer the highest quality health care. You will learn the best practices for the provision of patient-centred care, safety and quality in practice, and research and evidence based practice in nursing.

As an accredited course, once you graduate from this program you will have the knowledge and practical skills to register as a nurse in Australia with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Bachelor of Nursing Fast Track courses are also offered at both of our Sydney campuses (Rozelle and Darlinghurst) for eligible students. Please note the Fast Track courses are non-transferable.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Nursing will

  • Practice consistently in accordance with the Registered Nurse Standards for Practice
  • Demonstrate the consistent, effective and coherent application of consolidated, synthesised knowledge and skills to contextualised, complex, simulated and clinical situations
  • Demonstrate effective application of clinical reasoning through the consistent and coherent application of consolidated, synthesised knowledge and skills and a developing ability to  assess, analyse, problem solve, adapt and act effectively in unpredictable and complex clinical situations

  • Demonstrate autonomy, initiative and well developed clinical judgement in diverse clinical situations.

  • Demonstrate the ability to practice collaboratively and effectively as a member of the health care team.
  • Consistently demonstrate cultural competencies.

Theoretical studies are held on site and online at each campus and students undertake professional experience in health care centres, including rural and community, throughout Tasmania and NSW. Costs associated with travel, accommodation and uniforms are met by students. Please note that students are allocated to Professional Experience Placements subject to availability and students may be required to travel and relocate.
