Head of School's Welcome

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the School of Nursing & Midwifery at the University of Newcastle.

We offer high quality courses which contribute to the Bachelor of Nursing program (BN) which meets contemporary best practice standards for nursing education. You can study with us in Newcastle at our Callaghan campus, the Central Coast (Ourimbah), and in Port Macquarie. The BN is strongly linked to our clinical partners (primarily Hunter-New England Health, and Northern Sydney Central Coast Health and North Coast Health) so that students are well prepared clinically and academically for rewarding careers in a wide variety of health settings.

As an undergraduate, you may study Nursing, with the potential for further postgraduate study in areas such as:

• Advanced Nursing
• Nurse Practitioner
• Midwifery
• Mental Health Nursing
• Applied Management (Nursing).

We work in partnership with clinicians and educators from our local health services in order to offer jointly developed clinically up to date postgraduate courses for specialist nurses and midwives. We also offer Masters by Research, and PhD programs.

The School's Professors provide expertise across a broad range of clinical specialties and lead the research of the School in areas of:

• Aged Care
• Clinical Practice Development
• Symptom Management
