This course is of two years duration, offered part-time and by distance
education. The structure consists of four core subjects and four elective
subjects. The course aims to provide the registered nurse with specialist
preparation in community nursing. Graduates of the course will be well equipped
to enter a wide range of careers in community health nursing and also be able
to fully articulate the course and complete a Master of Nursing course.
To
be eligible for admission, an applicant would normally have relevant
registration (eg Division 1 with the Nurses Board of Victoria), at least
one year of nursing experience, and a degree in nursing or a related
discipline.
Note that to satisfy the requirements of subject assessments within the course,
it is expected that students will ´network' with practitioners and
agencies in the field of community health nursing. Also, students who are not
currently working in a community health setting will be required to undertake
four weeks practice in a community setting of their choice.
* SUBJECT TO UNIVERSITY APPROVAL.
