Placements and checks
Nursing students complete hundreds of hours of clinical placement in hospitals and community care. Before the first placement you need vaccinations, a police check and a working with children check, and placements can be outside the city. Regional universities such as Charles Darwin, James Cook, Federation and Tasmania place students in regional hospitals, which suits the regional visa pathways.
