Professional Experience Placement: Students will be allocated to a professional experience placement following negotiation with individual health care agencies. Students may be required to relocate and are expected to travel and study where the professional experience placements are available.
Students must be available 5 days per week (mornings, evenings or nights as per roster) and this may include weekends.
In order to commence workplace learning outside of the University of Tasmania (including clinical placements and visits) students are required to demonstrate compliance with the Faculty of Health Science and School of Nursing and Midwifery policies relevant to workplace based learning. These include the Police Check Policy and Procedures, Infectious Disease Policy, Code of Conduct and Student Placement Agreement. Students who do not comply with these policies will not be placed or will be removed from placements and therefore will not be able to complete this unit. Students who have not complied or are unsure of the policies should seek guidance from the School.
