Overview

Bachelor of Nursing – BN

Make a difference in someone’s life every day. Nursing offers diverse employment positions, and many options for professional development and postgraduate study.

All Bachelor of Nursing and Master of Clinical Practice students need to be vaccinated (and boosted) to undertake clinical placements as a requirement of either programme. 

Currently, some health organizations, especially aged residential care, mental health, and primary care practices require vaccination as a condition of working in their organization.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Nursing at Massey University are dynamic, adaptable and critical thinkers.

The Bachelor of Nursing includes science and social science courses related to health which are integrated into nursing knowledge.

Clinical learning takes place in many different areas including surgical, emergency, medical, mental health and primary care services.

You will become a knowledgeable and skillful professional nurse, contributing to the health of individuals and communities.

Structure of the Bachelor of Nursing

Classroom sessions as well as clinical experiences may need to be undertaken outside of normal semester times and/or over the summer period. 

Travel to clinical placements will be required.
