New Zealand Diploma in Enrolled Nursing (Level 5)
Prepare to apply for registration with the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) as an Enrolled Nurse.
New Zealand Enrolled Nurses deliver nursing care and health education across a range of health care settings under the direction of a Registered Nurse. They have a variety of roles and work in partnership with health consumers, families/whānau and multidisciplinary teams. For more information about the role of an Enrolled Nurse, click here.
Otago Polytechnic nursing graduates are in high demand due to their high calibre and work-readiness and Māori and Pasifika nurses are particularly sought after for careers in health.
This Diploma will allow you to gain knowledge and skills in nursing, social sciences, and in the structure and function of the human body. Time spent in our clinical practice facility and on clinical placement will give you vital hands-on experience and allow you to put your theory into practice. You will benefit from access to state-of-the-art Dunedin nursing facilities, the latest industry knowledge and the support and advice from highly experienced teachers.
This programme may provide a pathway into our three-year Bachelor of Nursing qualification or any of our other health professional degrees.
Please note: Upon completion of the Diploma, graduates must pass the NCNZ Registration Examination and meet other criteria to be issued with a practicing certificate and to be able to work as an Enrolled Nurse.
