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.
Students undertaking the Bachelor of Nursing are selected into the honours
degree at the completion of the second year. From year three, students
undertaking the honours degree in nursing will begin taking research units
alongside their remaining nursing units.
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% (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% 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.
To qualify for the honours degree of Bachelor of Nursing, students must satisfactorily complete the following units in their third and fourth year of study (having already completed years one and two of the Bachelor of Nursing).
The honours degree of Bachelor of Nursing will be awarded on completion of the course and will lead to eligibility for general nurse registration (division 1) with the Nurses Board of Victoria.
