Description:

This masters degree program is specifically designed for graduates of any Bachelor of Nursing degree to enable them to extend their nursing knowledge and skills in a specialist setting. The Master of Nursing program offers a flexible, external method of study. However, as of 2014, some core courses and those in the Advanced Practice Nursing Field of Study will also be delivered internally. The program provides the opportunity for students to complete a Master of Nursing after successful completion of 24 units. Students are able to select from seven fields of study for specialisation, including Children & Young People's Health, Primary Health Care Nursing, Chronic Disease Management and Palliative Care, Gastroenterological Nursing, Rural & Remote Nursing, Aged Care Management or the Advanced Practice Nursing field tailored to suit your own specialist practice setting. The Advanced Practice Nursing field of study is also offered internally only to domestic students. Students who do not currently hold Bachelor of Nursing, or equivalent, may only apply for the Graduate Certificate. When this is successfully completed students may then apply for entrance into the Graduate Diploma or Master of Nursing or Master of Nurse Practitioner Studies programs.
