Nursing scholarship applications
Professional Development Unit
Based on VTAC's 1st preferences in the 2011 selection period, the Bachelor of Nursing offered on the Melbourne Campus at Burwood is the second most preferred course at Deakin University.
Purpose:
To enable Enrolled Nurses (previously known as Division 2 nurses) to meet the eligibility criteria to apply for registration as a Registered Nurse (Division 1) with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
Enrolled Nurses are currently eligible for up to 8 credit points for prior learning (please note this is under review and is subject to change). This credit is spread across the three years of the Bachelor of Nursing course therefore the student’s overall study load is reduced throughout the course. Students normally commence studies in Trimester 2 of Year 1.
Entry requirements:
Applicants must be eligible for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia as Enrolled Nurses. Applicants will be eligible to apply for recognition of prior learning based on their previous studies.
Applications for T3 2011 (commences November 2011 ) intake must be made directly to the University through the Applicant Portal.
Details of available courses and application closing dates can be found on the closing dates webpage. Please note that closing dates may vary for individual courses.
