Nursing is an important profession within the healthcare sector. Nurses support patients, families and communities through clinical care, health education, treatment support and patient monitoring. The profession requires appropriate education, practical training, communication skills and a commitment to patient safety.
International students can explore different nursing qualifications according to their previous education and career goals. Depending on the programme, options may include a Diploma of Nursing, Bachelor of Nursing and postgraduate nursing qualifications.
