Our Bachelor of Nursing is underpinned by a belief that in today’s constantly changing healthcare environment, people, their whanau, and their community’s complex and diverse health needs require nurses who are well-educated, research-informed, and adept in critical thinking.

We believe the best way to develop and train nurses is through a balance of thinking and doing, so you’ll get to apply your learning in a range of health-related areas, and on placements at a variety of hospitals and health centres across the Auckland region. This is to ensure you graduate confident and work-ready.

Our Bachelor of Nursing is the only programme in West Auckland which prepares you for registration as a nurse and is approved by the Nursing Council of New Zealand.
