Nursing

Studying nursing at CQUniversity will let you explore diverse career opportunities within Australia and internationally.

To pursue a nursing career, the Diploma of Nursing allows you to practise as an enrolled nurse, while graduates from the Bachelor of Nursing satisfy the requirements to be a registered nurse. The Graduate Certificate in Nursing (Re-Entry) is for registered nurses whose registration has lapsed. You will be eligible for registration as a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.

I view looking after my patients as a privilege. For me it’s about caring for somebody when those that love them can’t. And I can do that thanks to the skills and strong grounding that CQUni gave me.
