Feedback from Unit evaluation report
Feedback from students: "The course was extremely top heavy. I worked day and night for 11 days straight to finish all the content and assignments in time for res school." "2 weeks access to complete all the content before res school in the first week was just not enough time." "The heaviness to get everything done before residential school was hard" "I rushed to complete the learnings on Moodle prior to attending res school" "I felt there was a lot of content to go through in a short period of time that we were expected to complete prior to the commencement of res school."
Students should have at least the first two weeks of term to engage with the prescribed material before they are allocated to attend on-campus learning sessions.

Please note due to COVID 24 hours on-campus learning has been converted to an online residential school. This means that you are not required to travel to a CQU University campus for this learning activitiy. An equipment package will be sent to your residential address.
To attend a clinical placement, CQU students must meet the 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.

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?
