NURBN1102 Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice
This unit introduces students to the processes involved in locating, acquiring, and critically reviewing nursing evidence, teaching them how to apply research findings to clinical practice. A key focus is on understanding the hierarchy of evidence and evaluating its relevance to clinical decision-making. Students will explore how various levels of evidence contribute to safe, effective, and holistic care that meets individual patient needs.In addition, the unit enables students to critically assess the integrity and application of evidence in nursing practice. Through this, students will develop a clear understanding of ethical standards in research, ensuring they are equipped to make informed, responsible decisions in clinical settings.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
