Undergraduate Registered Nurse Placements
St John of God Hospital Murdoch aims to support
Undergraduate Nurses with learning opportunities in a supportive
environment.
Around 500 Undergraduate Registered Nurses
from Notre Dame, Curtin, Murdoch and Edith Cowan Universities
attend this hospital every year for a clinical placement
experience, as well as students from other tertiary institutes.
These Clinical placements provide an
opportunity to consolidate the student’s theoretical knowledge and
clinical skills as a novice practitioner. Clinical education and
supervision may be facilitated in a number of ways. This may
include a combination of university clinical teachers, ward based
buddy system or ward based preceptors.
This support will provide the student with
feedback on the development of their nursing knowledge and skills
whilst in the practice setting.
Areas available for Clinical Placement include
the Medical and Surgical wards as well as Specialty areas such as
ICU, Emergency Department, Palliative Care and Operating
Theatres.
