NURBN2010 Pharmacology for Nurses
This Course provides students, from the main Program cohort in the BN, with a more in-depth study of the field of Therapeutics, which plays a significant role in the prevention and management of disease. Nurses and midwives must have a comprehensive knowledge of the actions and effects of medicines being taken by patients in their care to provide safe, competent and effective medication administration. Understanding drugs and the role of therapeutics requires a strong foundation of pharmacologic principles to help establish the knowledge-base to underpin safe practice. This Course examines fundamental knowledge and skills to promote the therapeutic application of drugs in the clinical setting and to enhance the ability of the nurse to provide patient care and education.
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.
