Prepare to become an enrolled nurse and impact lives through care across the health sector

Nurses are part of the backbone of our community. As an enrolled nurse, you'll work in a range of healthcare settings under the supervision of a registered nurse. Get a job in a hospital, aged care service, or medical clinic.

Through the Diploma of Nursing, you'll learn to deliver nursing care for people across the health sector. You'll gain relevant competencies related to the different life stages identified in the units you will study.

This course includes face-to-face delivery and clinical placement components. The face-to-face delivery covers theoretical learning through on-campus classes and simulation activities in a nursing skills lab. The practical placement offers hands-on experience in real healthcare facilities.

On completion, you'll be eligible to apply for registration as an enrolled nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) in accordance with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Subject to availability, you may pathway to the second year of a La Trobe University's Bachelor of Nursing (Enrolled Nurse Pathway). This bachelor program can be undertaken at Chisholm's Frankston and Berwick campuses.
