Why study nursing?

Nurse making difference

Contribute and make a difference

It's a great feeling to make a difference to someone's life. Nurses help people improve lives, give comfort and provide better disease outcomes.

Flexible

Nursing skills are transferable. You can move anywhere in the world and work in a variety of sectors. From the front lines in trauma care to working in public health or in a community health setting, you can choose from many specialty areas.

Nursing Job Working Hours

Nursing offers you flexible working arrangements. Days, evenings, nights, weekends, full-time or part-time, your hours are adaptable and can vary from 4 – 12 hours.

Stimulating work

There's really no such thing as a typical day in the eventful life of a nurse. You'll have numerous opportunities to learn something new every day, keeping you on your toes and motivated. Good news is you'll not be sitting down all day, staring at a computer.

Age is nothing but a number

It's never too late to become a nurse. It can be a second career and many employers appreciate previous work experience in nurses who are new to the job. There are many fast track courses that allow you to accelerate your way into the workforce as an Enrolled Nurse.

Leadership and collaborative partnership opportunities in nursing

Nurses are offered many chances to team up and work with other healthcare professionals. They also get the opportunity to lead teams and organise patient's care – planning, evaluating and implementing programs. It's an ideal career option for those who prefer a job that provides a lot of independence, collaborative and leadership opportunities.
