Nurses are highly respected members of the community. They care for patients in a range of settings and touch lives with empathy, compassion and humour.

 

This specialisation is suited to nurses currently practising oncology nursing who want to build their competencies for senior positions in the area. It’s focused on best practices for supporting cancer patients and their families and friends. Courses are delivered online with only one two-day campus workshop per semester, so the program is ideal for rural or remote nurses.

 

What will you do?

You’ll consolidate and build on essential knowledge as you:

• work through six courses, three with an oncology focus
• explore professional issues such as accountability, ethics, advocacy, leadership and cultural competence
• consider current theories, debates and issues in cancer care
• build skills for research and evidence-based practice.
