From Nursing Career
Nurse education is how nurses are prepared to engage in the delivery of nursing care. Nursing students are educated by teachers who are usually dual qualified, being both experienced nurses and educators. Almost all countries worldwide offer nurse education courses relevant to general nursing, mental health nursing and the nursing of sick children. Courses leading to autonomous registration as a nurse typically last four years. Nurse education also provides post-qualification courses in specialist subjects within nursing.
There are several different approches to Nurse Education from a Bachelor degree to get a Registered Nurse qualification or a diploma degree to get an Enrolled Nurse qualification. Registered Nurse qualifications are usually run over 3 - 4 years and Enrolled nurse qualifications run between 12 and 18 months for a medication endorsed qualification. Certain Diploma Programs allow students go get credit for the study they do to get their Enrolled nurse qualification to count towards the registered nurse qualification. The good thing about these programs is that once you finish your enrolled nurse qualification you can work as a endorsed enrolled nurse while you complete the final 2 - 3 years of the bachelor of nursing to get your registered nurse qualification.
