Nursing
Build the foundations for a nursing career with a Bachelor of Nursing
Take the first step to becoming a Registered Nurse
If you are a caring person who is good at problem-solving and wants to improve the health and wellbeing of others, then a Bachelor of Nursing degree could be for you.
Nurses play a vital part in the healthcare system and in supporting patient care. They are also involved in promotion, prevention and the education of people.
Our three-year degree will help you build the foundations for a nursing career. You head out of the classroom to gain hands on nursing experience in real healthcare environments. The small number of places in our programme, means you will have plenty of opportunities to connect with and make new friends who want to make a difference.
During the period of transition from student to registered nurse, I feel that the programme prepared me for a successful start to my career.
Where can a career in Nursing take you?
Nursing offers a rewarding and varied career where you can become an essential part of a healthcare team and positively impact your community.
