The scholarship amounts to $10,000 to complete the 12-month Graduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing (Emergency) and will arm recipients with the skills and evidence-based knowledge to provide specialist care in Emergency Department (ED) settings.
About the Opportunity

Our work-integrated learning model facilitates deep learning and enables nurses to put theoretical knowledge into practice under the guidance of experienced educators in the field.
