In addition, graduates of the Bachelor of Nursing (Practice Leadership) stream will be able to:

• promote evidence based practice in changing health care contexts;
• actively contribute to practice development and innovation.
Students will be provided with mentors to support their development of leadership.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:Students are required to maintain a GPA of 5.5 to stay in the course; students who fail to maintain a minimum GPA of 5.5 and to demonstrate participation in suitable leadership activities through annual submission of a portfolio, will be transferred to the Bachelor of Nursing degree.
