Avondale University College

Nursing at Avondale offers you the opportunity to be a student in a course well recognised for its strong clinical focus. Avondale is linked with the Sydney Adventist Hospital (affectionately known as the San), which is one of the largest and most comprehensive private hospitals in Australia. It is situated on the North Shore of Sydney which allows a very close mix of lectures and practical elements of the course. Students are given the opportunity to embrace a commitment to caring for a person as a whole integrated being, including the physical, mental, social, cultural and spiritual dimensions of the self. Avondale's Christian environment aims to support each individual and to develop not only academic excellence but also high ethical standards, a broad focus on health and illness prevention, a humanitarian concern for all people, and a passion for providing competent and culturally sensitive care. We offer you an educational experience where you have: - excellent clinical learning in association with the Sydney Adventist Hospital and a wide variety of other settings - opportunity to choose practice areas where you would like to develop your skills - small groups and personalised support and encouragement from lecturers to students - a unique campus environment integrating residential, theoretical and clinical experiences with excellent facilities for study and recreation - a caring Christian environment in which to learn.
