Master of Nursing Practice
Gain the clinical skills and experience you need to become a registered nurse (RN) in just two years with La Trobe's Master of Nursing Practice.
In this degree, you'll build on your existing Bachelor's degree qualification – in any discipline – and develop the clinical knowledge and skills you'll need to upskill or change careers in the health sector. You'll learn the theory from leading clinicians and academics at the La Trobe Rural Health School and then apply it in the real world with clinical placements in leading regional and rural hospitals and healthcare providers.

- develop foundational knowledge in primary care, acute care, chronic illness, Indigenous health, mental health, rehabilitation, community and emergency care, biosciences and research
- gain in-demand skills in leadership, time management, critical thinking and communication
- apply what you've learned in our state-of-the-art nursing simulation labs
- study closer to home at our Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo and Mildura Campuses
- graduate ready to support and strengthen your local community as a registered nurse (RN).
