CSU plans to offer a new-look Master of Nursing (with specialisations) in 2014, offering new specialisations to provide nurses with a range of options to build on their existing qualification.
More information about the new programs will be available online soon, or you can register an expression of interest.
CSU's Master of Nursing program provides registered nurses with an opportunity to build on their undergraduate learning, extend their clinical focus and develop research related skills.
Students may tailor their study to suit particular areas of interest and experience, by electing from five areas of specialisation: Rural Nursing, Chronic Care Nursing Practice, Management, Nursing Education and Mental Health Nursing.
On completion of the first 64 points of study (including credit), students may exit the program with a Postgraduate Diploma in the area of specialisation.
Applicants with five or more years professional nursing experience may receive eight points credit (equivalent to one subject) in recognition of prior learning.
Applicants who have completed an approved Graduate Certificate awarded by The College of Nursing will be granted a credit package of 32 points (equivalent to four subjects). This will constitute the specialist strand allowing these applicants to enter the program at year two.
