It is preferable that nurses have their own transport. It is, however, not a necessity. The university does provide some transport for nursing students, but there are times that it is not available. Public transport is available in most metropolitan areas, e.g., to hospitals and clinics. When nurses do home-based care, assistance can be provided by the Department of Nursing Science, but such arrangements will be made via the lecturer and only if necessary. There is also a shuttle service during the academic year which transports students from the main campus to Missionvale campus daily. These services may not be available during recess periods. Please follow this link shuttle transport or email shuttle@mandela.ac.za for more information relating to available shuttle transport service.
