Programme Overview

Overview

For over 30 years UCOL’s School of Nursing has provided a supportive and caring culture to ensure our nursing graduates pass the Nursing Council State Finals Examination with flying colours. UCOL’s personal approach helps you succeed in getting your nursing career off to the best start. It’s the personal approach from our lecturers that makes all the difference and that’s why UCOL nursing graduates enjoy an excellent professional reputation both here and overseas.

When you enrol in UCOL’s Bachelor of Nursing we’ll assign you your own Personal Tutor to guide you right through your nursing journey. They’ll support you through our curriculum, which includes 240 hours of clinical placement in your first year. Later in the programme these clinical experiences will include primary health care, medical and surgical, disability and mental health settings. An added attraction for students doing their nursing degree with UCOL in Palmerston North is that it has two Nursing Skills’ laboratories, with one uniquely sited at Palmerston North Hospital.
