In accordance with the stabilisation of the COVID-19 crisis in NSW, the mode of delivery for this course has resumed to 3 days face-to-face delivery at the UOW College, Wollongong or Liverpool campuses. UOW College Australia will continue to monitor and follow any recommendations relating to COVID-19 safe practices and will make adjustments to the mode of delivery as necessary. Alternate delivery arrangements will be advised if NSW Health orders or other COVID-19 safe practices or recommendations are imposed.

The Diploma of Nursing includes a minimum mandatory 400 hours of clinical work placement throughout the duration of the course, across 4-5 placement experiences. Students will be offered additional hours if they have not met the minimum required hours or assessment requirements. UOW College will arrange all clinical work placement experiences with healthcare facilities located in the Illawarra and Sydney regions. Where possible, a student’s residential address will be taken into consideration when allocating students to placement experiences, subject to each student satisfying the full range of ward allocations in rehabilitation, sub-acute and acute areas. Clinical work placements are predominantly within NSW Health facilities but also occur in Residential Aged Care and other private health facilities.

Students are required to attend a combination of morning and afternoon shifts during weekdays in accordance with the schedule and shift times set by the healthcare facility. During clinical work placements, students will be under the direct supervision of the host facility’s Registered Nurses and will be supported and assessed by a UOW College Clinical Placement Facilitator. Where clinical placement experiences are conducted at Ramsey, Healthe Care or Healthscope facilities, student assessment will be conducted by the host facility. UOW College will provide students with two polo shirts for clinical placement. Students will need to purchase their own black pants or blue scrub pants and enclosed black leather shoes.
