The School of Nursing works closely with healthcare partners to provide nursing students with clinical placements that provide real world learning and experiences. Nursing students can expect to learn within hospitals, community clinics, and specialty areas such as Gerontology, Mental Health, Paediatrics, and Critical Care. Students benefit from experience in a variety of clinical settings and a supportive environment while undertaking their degree. The School of Nursing also works closely with regional, rural and remote health care organisations to ensure students are provided with opportunities to experience and understand the unique challenges faced by these communities, including much sought after Royal Flying Doctors placements.
We offer a range of partnership programs with public and private hospitals, in which students are able to undertake all clinical placements within the one organisation. A first of its kind in Western Australia, Moorditj Kaartdijin, Moorditj Warlang (Good/strong knowledge, good/strong health), is an Indigenous Clinical Placement Partnership between Murdoch University and Fiona Stanley Hospital which recognises the vital role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples working in health play in addressing the health and wellbeing of Australia’s First Peoples.
