About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the health sector with enrolled nurses who are accountable and responsible for their nursing practice, ensuring that all the health care provided is consistent with their education, competence, and relevant legislation. Enrolled nurses reflect knowledge, concepts and worldviews of both tangata whenua and tangata tiriti, based on kawa whakaruruhau and cultural safety.
The enrolled nurse works in partnership and collaboration with tangata, whānau, hapori and the interprofessional healthcare team, to deliver equitable informed nursing practice across the lifespan.

This qualification is designed for school leavers and people already employed, or seeking to be employed, in the health sector.

This qualification meets the Nursing Council of New Zealand requirements for application for registration in the enrolled nurse scope of practice.
