Graduates are suitable for careers in a wide range of nursing-related fields. Our courses will give registered nurses the opportunity to provide skilful care to individuals, families and communities to prevent illness, promote healthy lifestyles and manage a range of emerging complex health issues. You will be able to take on leadership and specialised care roles in a variety of clinical nursing settings.
This course does not lead to professional registration with AHPRA (Australia Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency). However, the clinical and theory topics ensure that you are prepared to meet the standards of specialist practice, at a beginning level, of the Australian College of Critical Care Nurses.
The Graduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing consists of 18 units of core topics, including theory-based topics and professional experience placements topics. It is designed to provide you with the opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge and skills in critical care nursing, and to apply these in a range of healthcare environments.
This course is designed to provide nurses with the opportunity to develop advanced knowledge and skills in scholarship, evidence-based practice, and leadership. It is suited to nurses with a solid foundation in clinical practice who want to improve healthcare. This course does not include any placement in a clinical environment. Students who complete the course specialisation will not meet the requirements to qualify for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
The Master of Nursing program is specifically tailored for registered nurses in Australia who aspire to enhance their contribution towards the development of healthcare services and the nursing profession. By undertaking this program, they can gain an in-depth understanding of contemporary healthcare practices and develop the skills necessary to apply this knowledge proficiently in both national and international contexts.
Professional experience placements (PEP) aim to provide you with the practical experience required for the workplace. Certain statutory and other requirements must be met before any student is permitted to attend placement. View more details.
You must make a self-declaration as to your fitness to practise and advise of any pre-existing illness or disability that may impair your ability to practise. You will also be required to undergo a police check before your placements.
Students on placement have both an increased risk of most vaccine preventable diseases as well as the potential to transmit infections to susceptible patients. Students who are required to complete placements as part of their course must therefore be immunised in accordance with the relevant state or territory immunisation standards and any additional private provider requirements as needed.
You could be eligible for the Commonwealth Prac Payment.
