A fresh round of scholarships open to Re-Entry applicants will be available early next year. Details will become available soon via the Australian College of Nursing website http://www.rcna.org.au/WCM/ or direct via THIS LINK.

CQUniversity's course has been approved by the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency (AHPRA) and was also accredited via the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC).

Distance education is supplemented by three days of clinical skills workshops at CQUniversity Noosa Campus.  This course suits nurses who have left the workforce more than five years (but less than 10 years) ago. Successful applicants can apply for a $6000 scholarship from the Australian College of Nursing to support study costs.

Details are available from CQUniversity's Centre for Professional Health Education via 07 5440 7036 or professionalhealth@cqu.edu.au or LINK HERE for more details .
