Course overview

This course is the essential minimum requirement to register as an enrolled nurse. This course will provide students with the advanced skills to perform clinical assessments, contribute to nursing care of people with complex needs, administer and monitor medications and IV therapy, research and apply evidence to practice. TAFE Queensland’s highly-experienced industry professionals will guide students every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition into the health sector. Successful completion of this course will qualify graduates to seek registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Upon successful registration graduates may find work as an Enrolled Nurse within a diverse range of healthcare settings.
Combined diploma/degrees: The Diploma of Nursing can be combined with other programs as listed below to attain the awards of Diploma of Nursing from TAFE Queensland and the relevant degree from the university. Students undertake initial study at TAFE Queensland and complete the degree at the relevant university. Duration, location, mode of study, semester intake, electives and specialisations may vary. All mandatory university admission and English language requirements must be met before university enrolment is finalised. For more information contact the relevant university. Note: TAFE Queensland students making transition to the degree may need to wait six months to start with the semester one university intake.

To apply for a combined diploma/degree, applicants must select the Diploma of Nursing for the relevant TAFE Queensland location on their application and nominate their preferred degree/university (one only). Applicants can list the stand alone diploma or the combined program but not both. Listing more than one is not needed because they have the same eligibility and ATAR/rank requirements.
