UNE extends nursing in Tamworth
June 24, 2004
At a time when health and nursing matters are prominent in the media and the minds of the public, the University of New England has taken steps to further engage with Tamworth in the delivery of quality Nursing courses. The Associate Dean of the Faculty of Education Health and Professional Studies, Associate Professor Jenny McParlane emphasised the importance placed by the University on establishing closer links with health colleagues in the Tamworth area. The University and health facilities in Tamworth have long co-operated in the education of nurses. Now this cooperation will be enhanced by the partial relocation of the University’s Bachelor of Nursing Studies to Tamworth.
The Bachelor of Nursing Studies is an innovative course that allows Enrolled Nurses to upgrade their qualifications by distance study. This course was the first of its type in Australia and has consistently attracted large numbers of applicants from all Australian States and Territories.
Ms Trish Thornberry, the Coordinator of the Bachelor of Nursing Studies says “ this is a program that meets the needs of students from rural areas who are unable to attend university, on a full time basis, to complete their Nursing degree.” She added that “ the partial relocation means that students in the course will now attend a number of residential schools in Tamworth during their course and may well come to see the Tamworth area as a desirable place for post graduate employment”.
The Bachelor of Nursing Studies will be largely administered from Tamworth. Ms Thornberry, the Program Co-ordinator for the degree, is located at the Tamworth UNE Centre. The Centre has been substantially refurbished and now includes state- of –the- art lecture theatres, tutorial room and computer laboratories. These facilities will be used for teaching during residential schools.
Key dignitaries from the New England region have been invited to inspect the facilities of the UNE Tamworth Centre when the relocation of the Bachelor of Nursing Studies is officially launched on July 14. Ms Thornberry said that she is “excited to see this initiative on behalf of the University” and that the “current students are looking forward to spending time in the Tamworth community”.
