The Diploma of Nursing qualification through Chisholm is based on best practice in health care. It will prepare you for employment as an enrolled nurse, working under the supervision of a registered nurse. You will learn to deliver nursing care for people across the health sector, gaining relevant competencies that relate to the different stages of life identified in the units you will study. The Diploma of Nursing has mandatory on and off-the-job training components. The off-the-job training is the theoretical part of the course, where you will learn through a combination of on-campus learning and simulation activities in a nursing skills laboratory. The on-the-job training is known as clinical placement and is 400 hours of unpaid work experience undertaken through your course at a relevant health facility: - aged care (two weeks) - mental health (two weeks) - rehabilitation (two weeks) - acute (four weeks). Applicants will be shortlisted and invited to attend an interview with a panel of nursing teachers. You will need to provide evidence of the following during the interview: police check, working with children check (these checks are obtained in Australia), international criminal check, and immunisation history. On successful completion of the course, this qualification can provide a pathway to relevant bachelor degree courses. It will also make you eligible to apply to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia in accordance with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) for registration as an Enrolled Nurse.
