Rotations may include newborn nurseries, neonatal intensive-care units, labour-room newborn care, postnatal areas, follow-up clinics and community services.
Students must maintain at least 80% attendance in theory and practical components and complete 100% of the prescribed clinical attendance before certification. They also complete logbooks, neonatal case records, skill assessments, presentations and examinations through the State Nursing Council or university.
