Bachelor of Nursing
Our Bachelor of Nursing is underpinned by a belief that in today’s constantly changing healthcare environment, people, their wh?nau, and their community’s complex and diverse health needs require nurses who are well-educated, research-informed, and adept in critical thinking.
We believe the best way to develop and train nurses is through a balance of thinking and doing, so you’ll get to apply your learning in a range of health-related areas, and on placements at a variety of hospitals and health centres across the Auckland region. This is to ensure you graduate confident and work-ready.
Our Bachelor of Nursing is the only programme in West Auckland which prepares you for registration as a nurse and is approved by the Nursing Council of New Zealand.
Bachelor of Nursing highlights
- Learn from an experienced and multi-cultural team, many of whom still work in clinical nursing practice, and whose value of partnership and care is reflected in quality teaching, support, and innovative curriculum delivery.
- We’re proud to attract a diverse student population which reflects our local population.
- Practice what you’ve learnt in a range of health-related areas, at a variety of hospitals and health centres across the Auckland region.
