You want to be a registered nurse. We want to help you get there.
To do that, we've pulled together useful essentials to help you get ready to study human bioscience at university.
First off Take a look at what you can expect as an enrolled nursing student at university and get a head start on the practical things you need to know and do. Then Explore your bioscience learning modules below. We recommend you look at each one. In each module, you can:

What can you expect as an enrolled nursing student at university?
Never imagined yourself going to university when you started nursing?
Never thought of yourself as a scientist?
Well all that is about to change :)
We want you to be prepared, confident and, most of all, inspired in your first year.
To help you do that, we've pulled together some useful information for you about the practical things you should know and do to get ready and get going in your first year.
