Regardless of the mode of enrolment, all students are required to complete a full-time on-campus simulation block at an approved CDU venue in each year level of the course, as preparation for clinical placement. Simulation blocks are offered at Casuarina, Alice Springs and Sydney campuses.
 CDU allocates places in simulation blocks and cannot guarantee a place at a specific venue. All costs associated with attendance at simulation blocks are your responsibility.You will complete supervised clinical placements (880 hours in total) across the three years of the course in a variety of health care settings, including opportunities to participate in international study tours and exchanges that are in addition to the required 880 hours and a student's own cost. All students, regardless of your study mode or pattern, are required to complete clinical placement on a full time, rotating shift basis across a seven-day week roster, including night shifts, weekends and public holidays. CDU arranges all placements and cannot guarantee that placements will be arranged in the semester of enrolment or near your residential location. All costs associated with placement attendance are your responsibility.
Non-acceptance of placement or placement arranged outside of semester of enrolment may impact completing the Bachelor of Nursing within 3 years.As a nursing student, you will be required to have an inherent set of qualities. Nursing requires a degree of physical strength and mobility, endurance, communication and cognitive abilities for safe practice. If you think you may experience challenges in meeting the inherent requirements for nursing, you are encouraged to contact the Bachelor of Nursing Course Coordinator to discuss any concerns you may have before enrolling in the course.
