Neuroscience Nursing Courses
This page has been developed to alert neuroscience nurses of the opportunities for further education and qualifications in neuroscience nursing in Australasia. If you would like a course you run added, or know of a course that isn't listed please contact Anita Lloyd by email through ANNAEXECUTIVE@bigpond.com
Master of Nursing Science (Nurse Practitioner)
There a few nursing practitioner courses around and it pays to make sure that the one you are interested in is recognised by the Health Department in your state or where you want to work. This one by the University of South Australia is nationally recognised and mainly delivered online, making it very accessible. Others I am aware of are at Melbourne University, University of Southern Queensland and I have heard Curtin University, LaTrobe University and the University of Canberra are also about to announce courses. If you know of others please let me know so I can share the information around.
