Nursing graduates from the University of Wollongong are highly regarded for their clinical competence, knowledge and caring attitudes in nursing practice.
The School of Nursing, Midwifery & Indigenous Health provides clinical access to a wide variety of health services in both the public and private sectors within the Illawarra, Sydney metropolitan and country/rural health regions. Transport and accommodation costs may be involved.
The School of Nursing, Midwifery & Indigenous Health also offers a Bachelor of Nursing (Conversion) course for registered nurses wishing to upgrade their certificate or diploma qualifications to a degree.

Students will demonstrate an increased understanding of the nature of nursing; evaluate and apply concepts drawn from nursing theory and research to professional practice; offer leadership to less experienced members of the nursing profession; demonstrate an increased awareness of the effects of cultural, social, economic, legal and ethical influences on the development of the nursing profession; demonstrate increased ability in critical reflection and research; display a readiness and ability to participate in positive changes; and demonstrate competencies that will enable health professionals to accept responsibility for a more complex level of client management.
