Bachelor of Nursing (Post Registration)

Course code: 0412 + Off-campus (School of Nursing, Gippsland) + Full-fee-paying course: $TBC (Australian residents); $10,500 (international students)

The course is designed to enable registered nurses to access higher education through nursing studies at degree level and to provide opportunities for the development of academic and clinical skills as a basis for postgraduate study and specialisation.
The course aims to assist students to recognise the need for innovation in health care and respond to the challenge of change. It is designed to consolidate the nurse's role as educator, clinician, researcher, manager and patient advocate and to promote quality nursing care. The conceptual framework aims to base nursing practice on appropriate nursing research and theory within both ethical and legal parameters. Health promotion and the improvement of health care delivery are also important themes within the course.
