Our Bachelor of Nursing (Enrolled Nurse Pathway) is ideal if you have successfully completed a Diploma of Nursing* in the last seven years, are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Enrolled Nurse (Division 2), and are seeking a career as a Registered Nurse (Division 1) General.

This nursing degree factors in your Diploma of Nursing* studies and allows you to complete this course in two years full-time (or part-time equivalent). 

The Bachelor of Nursing (Enrolled Nurse Pathway) prepares you to reflect on your practice as a nurse and develop clinical reasoning skills so that you can confidently and safely engage in contemporary nursing practice in a variety of environments and contexts and adapt to the needs of people from diverse backgrounds.

You'll acquire skills to provide person-centred care and collaborate with other members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team. You'll also seek evidence to ensure safe, quality practice and act in a professional, ethical, and compassionate manner. In addition, you will learn to nurture the development of nursing as a practice discipline and demonstrate leadership in healthcare. You will explore how life-long learning skills can facilitate continuing professional development.

Our highly trained and experienced nursing lecturers will support you while you develop your professional nursing profile. You will gain practical experience through a combination of theoretical and extensive clinical learning experiences, including simulated training across our nationally located Clinical Learning Centres. This simulates a real-world setting for you to safely practice in and complete 680 hours of professional practice placements commencing in your first year of study. Benefit from our enhanced learning experience and launch your nursing career with confidence.
