COURSE DESCRIPTION
The focus of this program is to prepare graduates with specialised knowledge and skills for professional nursing practice, research, further learning and eligibility to apply for registration as a registered nurse (Division 1) with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
The program’s guiding principle is safety of the public and has been designed to prepare graduates for safe and ethical nursing practice. Our program reflects contemporary practices in nursing, digital health and education, and responds to emerging trends based on research, technology and other forms of evidence which includes principles of intraprofessional and interprofessional learning and practice, principles of diversity, culture, inclusion and cultural safety for all people and knowledge and skills in pharmacotherapeutics and quality use of medicines.
Using a primary healthcare framework, the Master of Nursing Practice (Preregistration) program combines theory, critical thinking and reflective practice, while also applying physical and behavioural sciences to nursing.
