The course is taught in two blocks of 30 weeks each and each block has a 50/50 split between theory and practical skills. The practical components are in real world situations where students gain supported clinical experience in a variety of healthcare settings, including learning about specialist care topics such as Acute Care, Mental Health and Addictions, and Rehabilitation. On successful completion of the programme graduates will be eligible to apply to Nursing Council of NZ to sit the NCNZ State Exam and register as a qualified Enrolled Nurse. Enrolled Nurses practice under the direction and delegation of a registered nurse in a variety of health care settings such as hospitals, medical centres, aged care facilities and in the community.
Enrolled nurses work as part of a medical and support team to deliver patient/client care across a range of health care settings, such as hospitals, medical centres, clinics and in the community. With a wide variety of roles to choose from, Enrolled Nurses have the opportunity to progress as career opportunities are varied and can range from general nursing through to specialised roles.
