Nursing practice continually evolves to correspond to continuing challenges in clinical practice, education, leadership, management, policy, economics, and legislation. How you react as a nurse, may depend on how well you are prepared to meet the challenges. If you are a registered nurse and wish to prepare yourself for leadership in nursing practice and education, then the Master of Nursing (Advanced Practice) program is for you. The focus is on clinical practice and the program allows for specialisation in selected areas of nursing, and in-depth study of a selected topic relevant to nursing practice. The program will enable you to practise at an advanced level and to tackle the challenges with knowledge, skills, and competence.
The program requires completion of 80 units and consists of prescribed nursing and elective courses.

Streams and areas of specialisation are available in acute care (including perioperative, nephrology, intensive care, emergency and surgical nursing – please note that this specialisation is not currently available to international students), older person nursing, mental health nursing; and child, youth and family nursing. You must complete the courses approved for each specialisation to ensure specialisation acknowledgement.
A number of the courses listed are offered in partnership with Hunter New England Area Health (including mental health and the Centre for Education and Nursing Research in Child Health [CENRiCH]).
Teaching is shared between academic staff and conjoint staff who are clinical experts within their speciality areas.
