Nursing

The website www.NurseInfo.com.au defines a nurse is a “highly skilled health care professional who combines the art of caring with scientific knowledge and skills developed through their education and career.  A nurse is involved in the education of patients around health and disease processes, health promotion activities, clinical procedures and management of nursing processes.  Nursing enables one to work in a diverse range of settings including hospitals, community settings, general practices, prisons, homes and residential settings.”

There are two ‘divisions’ in nursing:

Registered Nurses (known as Division 1 nurses in Victoria)

Enrolled Nurses (known as Division 2 nurses in Victoria)

The two levels of nursing differ in relation to the responsibilities they hold.

1. Registered Nurse
2. To become a Registered (Division 1) Nurse you need to complete a Bachelor of Nursing and these degrees are available at most Australian universities.
3. Enrolled Nurse
4. To become an Enrolled (Division 2) Nurse you need to complete a Diploma in Nursing or a Certificate IV in Nursing at a TAFE institution. This may vary between Australian state/territories.
