NURBN2023 Nursing Context 6: Pathophysiology and Pharmacology Applied to Person-Centered Nursing Practice A
This unit focuses on pathophysiology and pharmacology for nursing care. In this unit, students will have the opportunity to extend their knowledge and skills in relation to the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive and musculoskeletal systems across the lifespan. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of each of the National Health Priority areas by examining the aetiology, pathophysiology, assessment, diagnostic testing and pharmacology related to common disease conditions. Students will be expected to identify and relate safe, effective, evidence-based pharmacological interventions and strategies for management and treatment of commonly identified conditions.
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.
