Abstract
This pilot represents a professional and academic staff partnership aimed at enhancing the academic success of commencing nursing students by embedding co-curricular skills into the curriculum. The approach involves embedding timely advising messages in alignment with Picton's (2021) Advising Curriculum into the first semester courses of students commencing the Bachelor of Nursing Science via conventional or credit pathways. This work across the traditionally siloed professional and academic domains exemplifies the integrated approach adopted by the Student Success team. It is also a proactive response to recommendations in the Australian Universities Accord Final Report, which emphasises the need to demonstrate innovative practices in student services that prepare students for roles in critical fields, such as nursing. This emerging initiative outlines the frameworks that inform the integrated practice of the Student Success team and offers an example of our proactive student advising practice as we evolve towards a pan-university approach.
