Nursing & Midwifery
Welcome to the School of Nursing & Midwifery
"My most memorable CSU experience has been completing my clinical placements and seeing first-hand the work I will be involved in upon completing my degree"
Karla Cosier - current BN student
The School of Nursing and Midwifery was first established in 1985 as the School of Nursing and Health Administration to the previous institution, Mitchell College of Advanced Education. In 1990 Charles Sturt University was established, and in 1996 the School of Nursing and Health Administration became known as the School of Nursing and Health Science. In 2007 it became the School of Nursing and Midwifery.
The Bachelor of Nursing (as entry to practice in NSW for registered nurses) is offered both on-campus and by distance and attracts a large number of students. Graduates from this program are recognised for their skills and professionalism and are sought after by many health organisations in NSW and beyond. In increasing numbers, enrolled nurses are seeking to upgrade their qualifications to registered nurse status through distance education.
A conversion degree for registered nurses is offered both within Australia and abroad, including New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong and Japan. This degree, the Bachelor of Health Science (Nursing), provides opportunities for nurses to upgrade their initial certificate or diploma qualifications to Bachelors degree level. Postgraduate nursing degrees are also offered.
Mental Health Nursing is a noted specialisation within the School, with links to the Greater Western Area Health Service (GWAHS) providing a specially developed Graduate Certificate in Rural Mental Health Nursing .
The School holds affiliation agreements with a number of other education providers, and has a strong link with the GWAHS of NSW, as well as neighboring Area Health Services. There is a sound commitment to regional, rural and remote students, as well as to Indigenous students of nursing.
An International
Exchange Program is available for students
wishing to study overseas and gain credits toward their degree.
Since its inception, students of the School have featured regularly as University Medallists because of their meritorious academic performance.
