Thank you for your call and your interest in studying our bridging program for overseas nurses at Monash University.
It's great to hear that you are looking to pursue further study here with us at Monash.
I am pleased to advise you that this program is offered as the Australian Nursing Studies stream within the Master of Advanced Nursing. We no longer provide the Internationally Qualified Nursing (IQN) program or the Initial Registration of Overseas Nurses (IRON) program. The Australian Nursing Studies stream has replaced these courses.
I would like to advise you that the next available intake for this course is February 2020. For your convenience, I have included general course information below which you may find useful.
Course Structure:
Students enrolled in the Australian Nursing studies specialisation will need to complete NUR5112 and NUR5113. These units are conducted in one semester within the Masters of Advanced Nursing. These two units need to completed to be compliant with AHPRA bridging requirements for an internationally qualified nursing registration.
You may take an early exit from the Masters of Advanced Nursing upon the completion of the ANS stream and apply to graduate with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma provided you have satisfied the requirements for that award during your enrolment in this master's course.
Alternatively, you may continue with your studies to complete the Master of Advanced Nursing in another specialisation.
Fees:
The annual course fee for 2019 is approximately A$33,000 for a standard full-time study load. Fees are subject to change annually and can be paid on a semester basis.
Please note that students exiting with Graduate Certificate of Advanced Nursing and enrolling only in the ANS stream units would undertake half of the annual full-time course load and consequently incur half of the annual full time course fee.

To be considered for entry, you must have completed an undergraduate degree (Australian equivalent) in Nursing with at least a credit (60%) average. You must also satisfy the following extra requirements and selection criteria:
Certified evidence of current nursing registration.

degree qualified Australian trained registered nurse;
Provide a personal letter of eligibility to undertake a registered nurse bridging program
from the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency;

intensive care, urgent care and short-term inpatient stabilisation (or at discretion of
course coordinator)
