Our purpose-built Health and Wellness building incorporates<br />

health simulation suites and demonstration wards that provide<br />

a safe, authentic environment for clinical skills development, all<br />

designed to increase the competence and confidence of students.<br />

The demonstration wards contain 52 beds and meet Australian<br />

healthcare standards. Students have the opportunity for<br />

experiential hands-on practice to learn nursing skills in a variety<br />

of simulated healthcare settings.<br />

“The Student Mentor Program gave me<br />

the chance to receive guidance and advice.”<br />

I chose ECU Nursing because of their amazing reputation<br />

and excellent facilities, including demonstration and<br />

simulation wards, but the support I received was an added<br />

bonus. Lecturers always ensured they were accessible,<br />

and the Student Mentor Program gave me the chance<br />

to receive guidance and advice from third-year Nursing<br />

students and academic staff.<br />

Our Nursing program offers students the opportunity to<br />

undertake a community placement overseas, where they are<br />

able to work in a different healthcare system and experience<br />

health from a diverse cultural background. Currently, community<br />

placement opportunities available to students exist within<br />

Thailand, Laos, the Philippines and Tanzania.<br />
