RN course and NP courses.

[jess112]

Any help would be appreciated! I am receiving my HSC results tomorrow, and my official ATAR the following day. For the university I am going to be going to, the ATAR is only 70, which I am confident I can get. However, I want to be a Nurse Practitioner, for which the ATAR is 85. I am not sure if I will reach that high.

So my question is, can I do a normal 3 year RN course, and then transfer to an Advanced Nursing Course at the end??

Thank you!

You must be a nurse RN before you can apply to be a nurse practitioner candidate.

You must also be a nurses with at least 4 years post graduate experience in you chosen area to be a nurses practitioner candidate ~ once you have obtained a position as a nurses practitioner candidate (this must be through an employer you can not be nurses candidate on you own). You then enrol in a masters program as approved by AHPRA for the degree.

The university for the masters for nurse practitioner will Aldo need emoters letter of support.

So I do not know how you were going to go straight to nurses practitioner program without being a nursewith much experience.

So grab any place offered in a undergrads program become an RN choose you specialty get 3-4 years experience and then approach an employer to become a nurses practitioner candidate. After successful completion of the Masters and clinical you can beco

E nurse practitioner.
