Overview
The Master of Nursing Practice course is a pre-registration program that, on successful completion, will allow you to apply to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia to register as a Registered Nurse.
The curriculum provides you with the clinical skills, scientific and technical knowledge, and professional understanding and expertise required to practise as a Registered Nurse in contemporary Australian healthcare contexts. Teaching and learning in the Master of Nursing Practice is based on the principles of student-centred adult learning, emphasising innovation and problem solving, discovery, analysis and integration of information, as well as further developing you as a life-long learner.
Please note the Master of Nursing Practice is an entry to practice degree that offers a professional nursing qualification for individuals who have gained a non-nursing undergraduate degree. The Master of Nursing Practice is not a postgraduate degree for individuals who are already nurses and who wish to undertake a study to advance their practice or who wish to pursue a research pathway.
