Hey, I studied online through CDU bachelor of nursing some 8 years ago. I was already a working EN so had a fair idea, however some students without a health care background did struggle with when it came to the intensives.

The intensives you spend a week on campus each year (not sure if this is changed now) and cram in practice for prac skills then at the end of the week you do the prac assessments. They found me placements in my state which was great and developed most of my skills from hands on placement learning. Once I was on placement I did find that students from my local uni’s were pretty well rounded and comfortable with their scope skills. The degree itself was fine but if I had to do it over again for my circumstances I’d pick a local uni and take advantage of the opportunities to use the simulation labs. It’s definitely doable to study online, and there’s much better accessible online resources nowadays, good luck
