Information session on SP2 elective subjects NS2215; NS2216; NS2217

Dear BNSc students,

A V/C information session has been timetabled for 3-4pm  Wednesday 22nd April in the following rooms and locations to provide information and to answer any questions students may have regarding the three SP2 elective subjects in the BNSc program.

·         040-103 (Padua) Townsville

·         A3.2 (Cairns)

·         MMater-001 (Mackay)

·         Tarabada-007 (Mt Isa)

If you are planning to enrol in a SP2 elective subject in 2015 (NS2215, NS2216 or NS2217) in the BNSc program, and you have not already done so, you are reminded to enrol as soon as possible. The SNMN requires student enrolment numbers to organise tutorial groups, PEP and to be able to finalise the SP2 timetable.

Information regarding subject content can also be found in the Mariner and in the power point presentations under Quick Links on each LearnJCU subject site. A vodcast of the information session will be made available on the NS2022 subject site.

Each elective has a ten day PEP attached to it.  Student enrolment numbers are required to assist the clinical placement team with forward planning and securing placements. Thank you to all students who have already enrolled.

Kind regards

Ylona Chun Tie

BNSc Course Coordinator
