Course overview

The Bachelor of Nursing (Re-Entry) is for candidates with prior Australian nursing registration, who are no longer eligible to hold a current practising certificate and must complete a re-entry course to rejoin the nursing workforce as a Registered Nurse.

This pathway aims to renew and develop the nursing skills of previously registered nurses and to prepare them to rejoin the nursing workforce.

Studies include nursing and research skills, the scientific basis of nursing, health psychology and health sociology and clinical experience in various health care settings.

Our aim is to prepare nurses who are reflective about practice and have well-developed clinical reasoning skills.

What is Nursing?

Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. 

Modern nurses play an important role in health promotion, maintenance and education, as well as in traditional patient care and the restoration of health.
