Scholarships on offer for nurses keen to get back into the workforce
Published on 06 September, 2012
Nurses who may have left the workforce but are keen to return are encouraged to apply for the next intake of a Registered Nurse Re-Entry Course offered by distance education, with online study.
Approved by the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency (AHPRA), this CQUniversity course can arrange clinical placements in the applicant's home region.
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.
CQUniversity's Registered Nurse Re-Entry Course is currently the only course of its kind offered in Queensland.
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 .
