Completion of all requirements of the first and second years of the Bachelor of Nursing degree or an equivalent standing in nursing and an average of 70 per cent (distinction) or higher over the first two years of the program. The head of the school may make a case for students with a grade average in the range of 65 to 69 per cent who have demonstrated research potential. Students applying for admission based on nursing qualifications other than the first two years of the Monash Bachelor of Nursing program will need to demonstrate that they have completed units to an appropriate standard.
The honours degree provides students with a recognised pathway to
a higher degree by research. Through completion of the honours degree, students
will acquire knowledge, competence, skills and attributes that will enhance
their ability to promote professional nursing and to lead and achieve in their
chosen fields. Nursing in contemporary health care settings requires
practitioners who are highly trained professionals, technically competent and
capable of problem identification, together with the application of research
methods, within the practice environment.
The course is offered over two years part-time. Students undertaking the
Bachelor of Nursing (BN) are selected at the completion of the second year and
incorporate the first year of the honours program into year three of the BN
program. They then complete the fourth year of the honours program while
completing a graduate nursing year.
To qualify for the honours degree of the Bachelor of Nursing, students must satisfactorily complete the following units.
