Aged care clinical placements.

The aim of this project is to undertake a stock-take of currently used aged care clinical placements for undergraduate nursing students in Australia to provide baseline information for future planning and research into aged care education of nurses.

All Schools of Nursing in Australia will be invited to participate in this project. A survey tool collecting qualitative and quantitative data will be used to collect the data.

After data analyses have been conducted, a report will be compiled for distribution to all stakeholders.
