Nursing in Australia

Nurses in Australia train through university for a minimum of 6 full time semesters. They are educated to a Bachelor Degree level with a variety of clinical placements in the first and last years.   After graduation, nurses spend the first year working as a new graduate nurse, many hospitals offer a Graduate Nurse Programme where the nurse rotates to a number of specialties during this year, however, it is up to the nurse where she works for this first year after registration.

After registration with the State Nursing Board a nurse is known as a Registered Nurse.  In New South Wales , registered nurses are graded Year 1 - Year 8+ for salary purposes.    The nurse who manages the clinical area such as the ward is called Nurse Unit Manager, and a Clinical Nurse Consultants is a grade higher again.
