Course description
This course enables registered nurses to develop knowledge and skills that
will enhance their professional practice and prepare for postgraduate study. This course allows internationally-qualified Registered Nurses to gain a Bachelor Degree in Nursing. The course aims to provide students with strong academic and practical skills, as well as the attitudes required to comprehend, critically analyse and evaluate new knowledge in nursing.
Course structure
The previous Bachelor of Nursing (Post Registration) was divided into two steams. Stream A was a non-clinical stream and Stream B was a clinical stream leading to the eligibility to apply for registration as a Division I Registered Nurse with the Nurses Board of Victoria. The new Bachelor of Nursing (Post Registration) no longer exists as two separate streams. The course contains clinical components, but does not lead to registration with the Nurses Board of Victoria (or equivalent).
