Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Unit evaluation
What are the best aspects of your unit? Students enjoyed CNP3 on-campus learning experiences. In particular, many students praised the quality of the lecturers and felt supported. The hands-on experience in the labs prepared the students well for the clinical placements.
CQUniversity staff will continue to utilize best learning and teaching practices aimed at fostering and developing a supportive learning environment for all students.
Feedback from Unit evaluation
What aspects of your unit are most in need of improvement? A number of students commented on the on-campus clinical assessments, saying that they felt there was an inconsistency between the assessments (3 options) and that they did not enjoy playing the role of the patient in the assessments.
On-campus clinical assessments will be reviewed to ensure consistency and the role of the patient in future assessments will be played by simulated patients, not students.
Feedback from Unit evaluation
What aspects of your unit are most in need of improvement? Students expressed dissatisfaction with the number of written assessments required to meet the course criteria.
The number of written reflections will be reviewed and reduced for future iterations of CNP3. This will be possible without the need for formal change requirements as the inclusion of 3 of the 4 existing written reflections have been superfluous to the unit assessment task requirements.
- Incorporate cultural sensitivity and advanced communication skills to communicate and collaborate effectively with consumers, families, carers and members of the multidisciplinary care team.

Recency of Practice
To attend a clinical placement, CQU students must meet recency of practice (ROP) criteria. Meeting the ROP criteria reassures our industry partners (the clinical settings where you are going on placement) that CQU students are equipped and ready to work safely within the scope of practice of a second year nursing student (as outlined in your course material). We must, therefore, establish who meets the recency of practice criteria and who does not, prior to all students commencing their placements. If you have been practicing as an Enrolled Nurse (medication endorsed) within the previous 12 months, then you meet the recency of practice criteria. However, if you are an EN who has not practiced within the previous 12 months, then you do not meet the recency of practice criteria and you will need to visit the Work Integrated Learning Moodle site and review the ROP requirements.
If you have completed a clinical placement as a component of a Bachelor of Nursing degree within the previous 12 months, then you meet the recency of practice criteria.
If you have not completed a clinical placement within the previous 12 months, you do not meet the Recency of Practice criteria and will need to visit the Work Integrated Learning Moodle site and review the ROP requirements.
Please note that if you are a Recency of Practice student returning to the Bachelor of Nursing after a break of more than 23 months you may be required to attend further clinical learning sessions prior to commencement of NURS12158.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
