About the Course
Demand for qualified nurses is far exceeding supply in Australia. If you’re an overseas registered nurse, you can take the EPIQ-RN to adapt to the Australian healthcare system. The course will assess you for the Registered Nurse Standards of Practice.
EPIQ-RN is a bridging program designed to build on your previous experience and knowledge as an overseas registered nurse. The course is structured online in a flexible manner to help you balance your studies whilst working.
The Professional Experience Placement (PEP) is a compulsory component of the course that helps you put your new skills into practice. The aim of PEP is to immerse you in the professional nursing setting to get a better understanding of the Australian health care context.
For this course you must have most general nursing knowledge, show necessary skills, and have experience nursing in different cultures and healthcare systems outside Australia.
