Nursing Education for MSc(A) students

Nurses working in today’s increasingly acute health care environments require specialized training and skill. The Nursing Education stream has been created to expose graduate-level nurses to instructional and learning theory in order to better equip them to lead the movement towards more  innovative and effective pedagogical approaches in training nurses working in health care establishments or nursing students in academic settings.

The School of Nursing has developed a special section within the Masters Degree Program for students to pursue their interests in Nursing Education.  This option is available both  Nurse Bachelor entry students.
