Bachelor of Nursing / Bachelor of Clinical Practice (Paramedic)
What is this course about?
CSU's Bachelor of Nursing / Bachelor of Clinical Practice (Paramedic) leads to the award of two degrees. Graduates are flexible, able to practise as both nurses and paramedics.
Nurses and paramedics are in high demand in the community, especially in rural regions where some towns experience chronic shortages of trained professionals. Although qualified for employment anywhere in Australia, many graduates will be particularly well suited for appointment in rural areas because the clinical and practical sessions of the course will have been undertaken in such settings.
Graduates will be valued in rural and remote areas because they will be multi-skilled in fields where there are noted shortages.
Workplace learning
The course provides opportunities for a variety of placements in paramedics and nursing practice in hospitals and other health care agencies. Placements will be available in both urban and rural settings.
Your course is recognised by industry
The Bachelor of Nursing degree is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Board and the Bachelor of Clinical Practice (Paramedic) is recognised by Australian ambulance services. In designing the double degree program, consultations with accrediting bodies and ambulance representatives were undertaken.
