Program structure
The Bachelor of Nursing program consists of 24 credit point units (25 courses) as listed in the standard progression for commencing students.
Requirements to Complete the Program
Students are required to satisfactorily complete all courses. To satisfactorily complete the six clinical courses, students must participate in the required hours of clinical practice offered at off-campus venues and satisfactorily demonstrate the learning objectives of these courses.
The Bachelor of Nursing Program at USQ prepares students for a Bachelor’s degree in nursing. Upon completion of the program and application for registration as a nurse, the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) requires additional demonstration of English language standards for students for whom English is a second language.
Required time limits
Students have a maximum of 6 years to complete this program.
Endorsed Enrolled nurses and International Registered Nurses with 8 credit point exemptions have a maximum of 4 years to complete this program.
Clinical requirements
Clinical experience is an integral component of the program and each student is required to undertake and satisfactorily complete 840 hours of clinical experience. Students will be required to attend clinical experience in the Toowoomba Health District and surrounding areas (Toowoomba Campus students) and the Fraser Coast Health District (Fraser Coast Campus students) and surrounding areas. Students also need to be aware that clinical placement can sometimes be in rural and remote settings away from their home campus.
Clinical courses will incur some additional expenses for students including uniform and equipment; CPR updates, Hepatitis B immunization, Police Checks, transport to and from venues and in some instances living expenses. Some clinical placement occurs in block placements (2 - 4 weeks full time attendance) which requires student flexibility with commitments such as employment outside of the University. Clinical placements also occur within the local area within an allocated 2 day per week program (completed over a 10 week period of time).
Clinical practice will require shift work including working on weekends, holidays and all three shifts (day, evening and through the night). Students are required to follow the schedule that the clinical venue has assigned to the placement and this may require adjusting private work and other commitments.
Progression into clinical courses is dependent upon a pass grade in theoretical and other clinical courses which have been set as pre-requisites.
Prior to signing up for Clinical: It is a requirement of the University of Southern Queensland and Queensland Health that all students must have evidence of Hepatitis B immunisation and a current CPR certificate. Students must be willing to submit a signed Queensland Health Check list and deed polls.
All students are required to apply for and obtain a Blue Card through the Queensland Government and a Police Check. Full uniform including appropriate work shoes is mandatory and must be supplied by the student.
IT requirements
Students should visit the USQ Recommended Hardware and Recommended Software sites to check that their computers are capable of running the appropriate software and versions of Internet web browsers and to check the minimum and recommended standards for software.
Exemptions
Enrolled Nurses: Enrolled Nurses with a Diploma of Nursing from a TAFE institute or equivalent may apply to be awarded exemptions from the program up to a total of eight units of courses (two standard semesters). Enrolled nurses and Endorsed Enrolled Nurses should contact cenrolq@usq.edu.au for advice on direct articulation pathways from TAFE and possible exemptions. Exemptions must comply with the university regulations from Section 5.5.5.
Transfer Students: Students who wish to transfer components of other accredited Bachelor of Nursing programs and students with prior university credit should contact cenrolq@usq.edu.au to apply for possible exemptions. Exemptions must comply the University regulations from Section 5.5.5.
Some credit may be granted for appropriate qualifications in Indigenous Health. USQ provides extensive support for Indigenous Nursing Students.
Enrolment
Accelerated progression
Students may schedule their courses to complete the program in six consecutive semesters (two years total). This option will require an uninterrupted progression through the program and is only available when commencing in Semester 1. There is an enrolment cap in the accelerated offering and numbers are limited.
Students should be advised that this option requires continuing study without normal semester breaks. Students are required to complete the normal clinical experience requirements of this program which includes attendance for a total of 840 hours of clinical practice at arranged clinical facilities off-campus and satisfactory completion of the course requirements. This mode may not suit the visa requirements of international students. International students are asked to refer to information provided by USQ International.
Part-Time Enrolment
Students may choose to take a diminished load of courses each semester to study part-time. A suggested enrolment pattern for three courses per semester is available below. Students may also vary their course load by taking courses as available (depending on quotas) which are offered in semester three (3). Please note there will be periods of full-time attendance required in these options such as in clinical courses. Students are required to complete the program within six years. A Part-time mode may not suit the visa requirements of International students.
Mid-year intake
Students may commence the program in Semester 2 in an alternative progression. The earliest the program could be completed with this entry would be in three and one half years including some use of semester three enrolment and some semesters with a full-time load (four courses). Students who have entered in mid-year, may choose to articulate into the accelerated progression program in the following semester one (2012) after their part-time study in 2011. This entry is dependent on enrolment caps and available positions in this offering. In this progression, after a mid-year intake, students would complete the program in eight semesters by taking four courses in the majority of their remaining semesters including semester three of 2012 and 2013.
It should be noted that some courses in a mid-year intake will be taken out of sequence which does not disadvantage the student in terms of pre-requisites but may require taking courses without the recommended prior study. Because of the time frame of this mid-year entry, this mode may not suit the visa requirements of some international students. International students are asked to refer to information provided by USQ International.
A full-time option is available for Endorsed Enrolled nurses commencing in semester two. Please see the progression pattern available below.
Progression policy
Students are advised to consult with student support usqassist@usq.edu.au in situations where their progression is affected either by failure in pre-requisite courses, or where they choose a part-time study pattern.
