Aims and Objective: To assess nursing Professional Experience Placement (PEP) processes in Australian higher education and clinical settings. Background: PEP is a mandated requirement by the accrediting body with a minimum of 800 hours of practice scaffolded across curriculum. Method and Design: Mixed method study. Designs; descriptive, interviews, and focus group interview techniques. Results: In the descriptive study, of 33 education providers invited to participate, 51.5% (n=17) responded. Respondent demographics: 94% BN only program; 65% - 40-55 years age group. Respondents reported responsibility ranging one to six campuses (Mean=2.2) with 0-15 (Mean=4.11) support/administrative staff. Student population ranged from 500-7500, mean of 2365.38. Conclusions: Good processes were identified in nursing PEP, although challenges still exist in consistency across the nation that need to be addressed. Limitations of the study were low questionnaire response rates.
