Bachelor of Science (Nursing) / Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (Honours)

Clinical Practicum

The clinical practicum courses enable students to develop clinical skills and professional competency through a structured programme that includes on-campus clinical laboratory learning, simulation experiences and clinical attachments in various healthcare institutes. The courses are planned so that students build a foundation for practice in Year 1; consolidate theory and practice in Year 2; and in Year 3, prepare for transition to practice as a novice registered nurse. For honours year (Year 4) students, the consolidated clinical practice allows students to focus on planning, implementing and evaluating care using evidence based practice in their selected area of interest.

Students must submit official records of previous vaccinations for Pertussis, Mumps, Measles, Rubella; and serology response as proof of immunity for Hepatitis B and Varicella (chicken pox); and any other health requirements as stipulated by Ministry of Health to the Administrator (Clinical) within the first two months of programme commencement. Students must complete at least the second dose of their vaccination before going out on their first clinical practicum.
