SPECIAL NOTE:
This unit is offered as part of Bachelor of Nursing Schedule E (EN pathway). As such, it is assumed that students are Medication Endorsed and have clinical experience. In addition, it is also assumed that students have basic knowledge of human body systems, particularly with regard to structure and basic functions, by virtue of their previous studies.
It is strongly recommended that students who are uncertain of their knowledge in these areas enrol in CXA107 Fundamentals of Bioscience in the summer semester prior to the commencement of their BN course to refresh their knowledge in preparation for this unit.
