More nursing places for UNE
July 09, 2004
The Federal Government has agreed to fund an extra 25 places in undergraduate nursing and an additional 10 places in aged care nursing at the University of New England.
"At a time when some universities are questioning their support for undergraduate nursing, UNE’s strong commitment to nursing education is demonstrated by the successful bid to gain the additional nursing places and by partially relocating its Bachelor of Nursing Studies (BNS) program to Tamworth” Professor Victor Minichiello, Dean of the Faculty of Education, Health and Professional Studies, said today (July 9).
Ms Trish Thornberry, Co-ordinator of the BNS program, said the partial relocation meant Enrolled Nurses who continue to work while studying for their Registered Nursing education could now attend some of the residential schools for the program in Tamworth.
“UNE is being innovative and responsive to the particular needs of nurses working in rural communities,” Ms Thornberry said.
“This is a program that meets the needs of Enrolled Nurses from rural areas who are unable to attend university on a full-time basis to complete their nursing degree.
Mr Noel O’Brien, Chairman of the New England Area Health Service, supports the partial relocation initiative because it extends the relationship between UNE and the entire New England region and it is an innovative way to address rural education using new technology.
Professor Ingrid Moses, Vice-Chancellor of UNE, will launch the partial relocation of the BNS program to Tamworth at the UNE Tamworth Centre on July 14.
Mr O’Brien will be a guest speaker.
The UNE Tamworth Centre has new lecture rooms, computer laboratories and tutorial rooms to accommodate the partial relocation.
