For those seeking a rewarding career helping others, nursing may just tick all the right boxes. NSW Health is offering an opportunity to contribute to the positive health outcomes of patients at public hospitals across the state through enrolled nurse scholarships with guaranteed employment.
The 2022 Enrolled Nurse Scholarship program is now open for application and will cover the cost of course fees for the Diploma of Nursing. The scholarships not only include a position in the Diploma of Nursing program but also guarantee employment as an enrolled nurse in a NSW Health facility following the successful completion of the diploma and standard recruitment and registration.
Jacqui Cross, NSW Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, said there were placements available at 24 campuses across the state, including six in Sydney and 18 across regional Local Health Districts.
“We are encouraging anyone who wishes to work as an enrolled nurse and seeks a meaningful and rewarding career in a public hospital to apply,” Ms Cross said.
“Nurses across the state, and across the health care network, provide essential frontline care to people in hospital and, in many ways, are a source of comfort to their patients.
“Our enrolled nurses will have the opportunity to work across a variety of NSW Health clinical settings, including in acute medical and surgical units, operating theatres and mental health, enabling them to care for patients when they need it most.”
Applications open today: Tuesday 11th January 2022. To be eligible for an enrolled nurse scholarship, applicants must:
