It’s all about supporting you in your study towards your nursing degree!
UCOL’s personal approach helps you succeed in getting your nursing career off to the best start.
It’s the personal approach from our nursing 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 School of Nursing we’ll assign you your own Personal Tutor to guide you right through your journey studying towards the nursing degree. They’ll support you through our curriculum, which includes 240 hours of clinical placements 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 nursing 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. For nearly 30 years UCOL’s School of Nursing has built a supportive and caring culture to ensure our Bachelor of Nursing graduates pass the Nursing Council State Finals Examination with flying colours.
