A career as a registered nurse (RN) is deeply rewarding. Registered nurses work as the backbone of Australia’s healthcare system, working in and with different departments, locations and people. Each day is different and offers both challenges and opportunities to provide care. Studying nursing via graduate entry will prepare you to become a registered nurse in an accelerated two-year program. Learn professional skills and nursing knowledge in disciplines crossing biosciences, social sciences, law and communication. Develop your confidence in professional practice by participating in immersive simulations. Engage in over 800 hours of hands-on learning and placements in clinical environments. |
