Train as a Nurse
Bachelor of Nursing Programme
Did you know you can train to become a nurse without leaving South Canterbury?
South Canterbury District Health Board works with the Otago Polytechnic School of Nursing and Aoraki Polytechnic to offer a three-year bachelor of nursing degree locally.
The first step is Aoraki Polytechnic, which offers a course to assist in meeting entry requirements for the Bachelor of Nursing programme.
The next step is to apply for the Bachelor of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic. People accepted into the programme undertake the majority of their studies and clinical placements in South Canterbury with instruction from Otago Polytechnic School of Nursing lecturers. Some financial assistance is available to qualifying students.
