This course will provide students with the opportunity to build their nursing practice, knowledge, skills and clinical experience. The role of the graduate nurse as an effective team member of the multidisciplinary team will be critiqued. Clinical courses assist the health practitioner to develop advanced clinical skills including assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care. Across the suite of clinical courses included in the Bachelor of Nursing/ Bachelor of Midwifery program students will develop evidence-based practice skills, beginning leadership skills and mentoring of less experienced students.
This course will offer students up to 360 hours of professional experience placement. Operating within the appropriate student scope of practice, students must demonstrate competence on their clinical placement when assessed against the requirements of the placement assessment tool. To successfully pass this course students must meet all course requirements to demonstrate competence against all course learning outcomes.
This course aims to enhance students’ clinical competence, critical thinking, and professional accountability, preparing them for the complexities of contemporary nursing practice. In this course, students will consolidate their knowledge and skills acquired during Years 1, 2 and 3 of the program. They will be required to effectively manage the nursing care of 3–4 individuals in a healthcare setting while demonstrating culturally responsive and patient-centred care.
As the seventh clinical practice course in the Bachelor of Nursing and Midwifery program, this 4-unit course provides students with the opportunity to undertake up to 360 hours of supervised clinical experience. Typically, this will involve 8-hour shifts, though 12-hour shifts may be undertaken where permitted by the placement site, and may include weekdays, weekends, public holidays inclusive of rotating rosters involving morning, afternoon and night shifts.
Throughout the semester, students must submit evidence of progress during their placement. If additional evidence is deemed necessary, students will be advised by the Course Coordinator. Students who do not meet or maintain a level of performance appropriate to their experience at any point during the semester will be formally notified. A tailored learning plan will then be implemented by the designated Practice Educator, in consultation with the Course Coordinator, to support the student’s development.
In cases where concerns regarding fitness to practise or scope of practice are identified, students may be withdrawn from their placement. This decision will be made at the discretion of the Program Lead, in consultation with the Head of School.

Clinical Placement
Students are expected to complete 100% of their allocated placement hours to meet the course learning outcomes and be eligible for a pass.
Clinical placements must complete within the rostered timeframe advised by the Practice Education Team. Clinical placements may occur during public holidays as well as during the Mid-Semester Break (please refer to your allocated roster from the Practice Education Team).
Students will be required to participate in hospital/corporate mandatory credentialling and other relevant learning opportunities including online modules. Some clinical placement sites will also require student attendance at orientation sessions. Please refer to the Nursing & Midwifery Practice Education (Clinical Placements) Blackboard site.
It is an inherent requirement of the Bachelor of Nursing degree to complete supernumerary professional placements in a range of clinical areas over the duration of the degree. Inherent requirements are the essential components of a course that demonstrate the capabilities, knowledge and skills to achieve the core learning outcomes. The Inherent Requirements Student Placement Declaration form must be completed on enrolment to the course when preferencing or completing attendance placement documentation in Inplace. Should a student’s circumstances change throughout the course of the semester please contact the course convenor to discuss the implications of these changes for your clinical placement.
Compliance Statement
It is expected that students have successfully completed all requirements for NUMW3214 in Semester 1. Students are responsible for meeting all pre-placement mandatory requirements before the start of Semester 1 (21/2/2025). Failure to comply with these requirements will result in no clinical placement allocation. Students who receive written notification of failure to comply with pre-placement and mandatory requirements will be required to address these by the end of week 3 of semester 1. If students do not meet the final compliance deadlines by the end of week 3, they will no longer be eligible to undertaken clinical placement and no further clinical placement allocation will occur. In these instances students are advised to withdraw from the course before the census date.
Absenteeism from Clinical Placement
Clinical placement shifts are compulsory components of the Bachelor of Nursing program. On the occasion that you are unable to attend clinical placements due to exceptional circumstances, you must follow the instructions outlined in the Attendance and absence procedure and InPlace guide - please see the document in Nursing & Midwifery Practice Education (Clinical Placements) Blackboard site. You must also ensure you notify your ward, Practice Educator and Clinical Course Coordinator of your absence.
Please note:
- Students are not authorised to arrange their own shifts
- Deferred clinical placements may be scheduled out of semester. A deferred clinical placement, like a deferred examination, is the final offering for student to completed clinical placement requirements to meet the course outcomes and be eligible to pass.
- Students are not able to defer, a deferred placement offering.
- If there is a clash with a scheduled clinical placement shift and an exam, students are to contact the Practice Education Team and the relevant subject coordinator immediately to discuss arrangements.
Unsafe practice during clinical placement:
A decision of unsafe clinical performance is made when a student's performance places a patient/client, a patient’s/clients’ family, staff members, themselves, or fellow students at risk. If students practice in a way that is deemed unsafe or breaches the relevant scope of practice during their clinical placement they will be asked to leave the placement and a fail grade will be awarded for the course.
Professional manner during professional placement:
Students must always conduct themselves professionally during professional placement. Unprofessional behaviour may lead to a learning support plan, immediate removal from the clinical placement, or termination of the placement. This could result in non-academic misconduct and a failing grade in the associated subject.
Scope of Practice
Students must adhere to the NUMW3214 Scope of Practice at all times while on clinical placement. This requirement addresses patient safety and students will be removed from placement or risk failing the course if working outside their scope. Please refer to the guidelines in the Nursing & Midwifery Practice Education (Clinical Placements) Blackboard site.
Clinical Based Learning (CBL) Participation
CBL (Case-Based Learning) allows for the development of clinical skills and evidence-based practice.
- Preparation for each session is required so students understand the clinical theory and principles that support the practical components of clinical practice. Prior to attending CBL, students should complete the assigned readings, engage in course learning activities, including self-directed modules, and reflect on clinical practice.
- Each session is structured to support student learning and master of clinical skills required to provide care in the clinical settings. Students must actively participate in skills practice, discussions, and identification of learning needs, while receiving feedback from CBL Lecturers and peers.
- Attendance is mandatory for all CBL sessions.
Absenteeism from CBL
Students who miss CBL sessions due to exceptional circumstances, such as illness, injury, or participation in elite athlete programs, will be unable to achieve the required scope of practice and may fail the course. In the event of multiple absences from CBL classes, missing 20% or more of CBL sessions (2 or more CBLs) will result in an inability to meet the course objectives and the safe scope of practice required for clinical placement. Such students will receive a failing grade for the course. We strongly encourage students enrolling in this course to consider their ability to meet the requirements. If unable to do so, it is advisable to seek academic advice and consider withdrawing from the course before the census date. Students who miss a CBL session must notify the Course Coordinator as soon as possible. Students must follow-up by emailing a completed Absenteeism Form (available on NURS3202/NUMW3214 Blackboard site) and supporting evidence, i.e. medical certificate / statutory declaration, within 48 hours of the missed CBL class. Please refer to my.UQ for a list of the acceptable reasons for absence from class. If the absence is approved you will be notified by the Course Coordinator of a time and location for your make-up CBL.
Makeup for absence from CBL
Absence from a CBL session will require the student to attend a makeup CBL session. Upon receipt of the appropriate documentation you will be notified by the CBL Co-ordinator of a time and location for your make-up CBL.
Face to Face Lecture series
It is an expectation of the course that students will attempt to attend all lecture sessions. However, when students are unable to attend lectures, they are recorded for student reference. Lecture sessions provide the opportunity for students to engage with fellow students and engage in the lecture series.
