Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureApproach to learning and assessment
The RMIT Discipline of Nursing offers a rich and diverse learning experience for you across the three years of the BP032P24D2 Bachelor of Nursing Program offering. You will experience flexible learning environments that blend online classes, face to face structured workshops, supportive tutorials and small group simulated learning experiences with skill acquisition activities. These learning activities are offered across the year level to draw together diverse concepts using a patient focused and evidence-based approach. Clinical Skill acquisition is undertaken in a simulated health environment, and this is further reinforced in supervised work integrated learning experiences across five of the six semesters. Some courses in the program are delivered online, rather than on-campus, and you are likely to find that other courses use hybrid delivery suited to the learning material as you progress through the program.
RMIT have state of the art simulated learning facilities for student learning and practice. You will participate in simulated practice within these facilities in preparation for placement. As a part of participation, you may be filmed for learning, teaching, reflection and assessment and this is considered an inherent part of our learning and teaching program. Recordings will be maintained in accordance with our assessment, document retention and privacy policies.
Assessment activities vary across the 24 courses offered. Assessment is undertaken across the semester and includes written assignments, case study related scenarios that help you to develop critical thinking, clinical reasoning and reflective skills needed in practice, online discussions that enables you to experience teamwork and peer learning, examination and clinical skill assessments where theory and practice can be demonstrated together in the simulated learning environment. Work integrated learning is assessed in the real practice environment and incorporates assessment against the standards for the registered nurse.
Career Development Learning (CDL) experiences are embedded within the program and provide you with the knowledge, skills and attributes to manage your career and development throughout your life.
