Bachelor of Nursing Clinical Placements
Clinical Placement Calendar l Contacts l Immunisation Information l Scholarships
The New South Wales Department of Health has introduced a new method of requesting clinical placements – the CPCIS system for all universities and TAFEs in NSW, to be rolled out across the state in 2009. Through this new process we will need to book our clinical placements for all Bachelor of Nursing students at least six months in advance.
CSU's School of Nursing & Midwifery has an excellent rapport with the numerous health areas across NSW and has worked closely with a number of our facilities both rural and metropolitan to ensure the clinical experience for our students is second to none.
Our students gain all their necessary clinical skills out in live nursing environments so they are ready to fulfil their duties as Registered Nurses upon completion of their degree.
We have an overall Clinical Coordinator, Mrs Ann-Marie Brown and a Clinical Administrator on each of our five campuses so all of our students can have the benefit of their own clinical contact during their course.
