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 perioperative nursing who want to build their competencies for senior positions in the area. Courses are delivered online with no compulsory attendance on campus, so the program is ideal for rural or remote nurses.

- work through six courses, three with a perioperative focus
- explore professional issues such as accountability, ethics, advocacy, leadership and cultural competence
