Diploma in Enrolled Nursing

Prepare to apply for registration with the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) as an Enrolled Nurse.

New Zealand Enrolled Nurses deliver nursing care and health education across a range of health care settings under the direction of a Registered Nurse. They have a variety of roles and work in partnership with health consumers, families and multidisciplinary teams. Otago Polytechnic nursing graduates are in high demand due to their high calibre and work-readiness and Maori and Pasifika nurses are particularly sought after for careers in health. This Diploma will allow you to gain knowledge and skills in nursing, social sciences, and in the structure and function of the human body. Time spent in our clinical practice facility and on clinical placement will give you vital hands-on experience and allow you to put your theory into practice. You will benefit from access to state-of-the-art Dunedin nursing facilities, the latest industry knowledge and the support and advice from highly experienced teachers.
