Bachelor of Nursing / Bachelor of Emergency Health (Paramedic) for 2009

Print version

Course overview

This course is a ground-breaking initiative in multidisciplinary, inter-professional education, offering students a chance to gain skills in nursing, emergency health and inter-professional practice. The course prepares graduates for employment in nursing and paramedic environments. Career prospects are enhanced by the dual qualification and the synergies the professions share. Graduates will be particularly sought after in rural areas, where health organisations prefer multi-skilled graduates who can cross over the disciplinary boundaries traditionally supported by both a paramedic and a nurse.
