SHMCN6007 Nursing Context 6: Work-Ready Transition to Practice
The aim of this course is to enable students to effectively prepare for making the transition from student nurse to graduate nurse, and for establishing themselves in a satisfying and sustainable nursing career. A key component of this course is participation in a structured inter-professional experience. Students will develop an understanding of the importance and complexity of negotiating interprofessional relationships within nursing and health care contexts through solution-focused problem-solving strategies and change management principles. These have direct applicability to resilience and the care of `self¿. As future nursing and health care leaders, students will explore the role of the Registered Nurse as a situational leader and develop practical strategies for graduate practice. The role of the Registered Nurse in the provision and maintenance of safe, high quality nursing care ¿ as encompassed within the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards and National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards ¿ will be explored, along with a consideration of the role that the auditing of risk provides. Students will also develop skills and attitudes required to be work ready, actively participate in the employment-seeking process, and apply for roles within Graduate Nurse Programs and beyond. Using the principles of life-long learning as the framework for a fulfilling career as a professional nurse, students will explore the various career, study and research pathways, continuing professional development opportunities and requirements and engagement for career advancement.
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.
