If you want a rewarding career that enables you to make a difference every day, and where every day is different, then a Bachelor of Nursing could be for you.

The Southern Cross University Bachelor of Nursing degree offers an outstanding combination of practical training in providing care and opportunities to build an extensive knowledge about health, diagnosis, care plan development, care delivery and disease.

This degree will provide a strong foundation to your healthcare career, with a focus on person-centered care across a wide range of locations and environments, including primary health care and mental health, chronic disease, leadership and care management.
