Bachelor of Nursing

Career opportunities

Graduates work professionally as nurses in diverse settings such as:

  • community health centres
  • public and private hospitals
  • specialty and general practice medical surgeries
  • aged care facilities
  • defence forces
  • primary healthcare and Royal Flying Doctors' Service
  • industry
  • research
  • education

Once you become registered as a nurse, your job prospects are very good with most students gaining employment within the first six months after completion of their course. Most final year nursing students will know if they have a graduate nurse position by December of their final year.

CSU nursing graduates work in health agencies across NSW and interstate, and many have sought overseas registration and now work overseas.

After registration, you may specialise within an area of nursing that interests you. For example, after achieving your Bachelor of Nursing degree, you may study further to become qualified in a specialist area of nursing such as mental health, high dependency, paediatric and midwifery nursing at Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master level.
