Work in JCU’s state-of-the-art clinical simulation laboratories, studying nursing and midwifery concurrently from your first year of study. Your four year full-time (or part-time equivalent*) accredited course includes extensive professional or clinical placements. Throughout your placement, you apply theoretical knowledge in a practical context, preparing you for smooth transition into the workplace. Gain experience with our partner hospitals and health services across regional, rural and remote Queensland including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and international locations. Students enrolled in this degree will have student registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Graduates are eligible to apply for professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Prescribed professional or clinical placements will be required to be completed away from the Townsville campus, at your own expense. Continuity of care experiences are central to the midwifery curriculum and require you to attend antenatal and postnatal appointments and labour and birth with women throughout the course. These experiences are additional to professional experience placement and may require your attendance in the evenings, overnight and on weekends. The nursing and midwifery double degree opens many career paths. Graduates work in hospitals and a variety of health care settings and are eligible for professional registration in Australia as a General Nurse and a Midwife. Extensive professional experience placement and continuity of midwifery care experiences throughout the course enables real life clinical practice in rural, remote and tropical Australia. Your nursing career pathway could include intensive care, emergency, neurology, orthopaedics, radiology, communicable diseases, research, paediatrics and special care nurseries. Your midwifery career could include autonomous practice in private or group practice settings where you will provide continuity of care to women during their pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period. This program is only offered to domestic students.
