Graduate Certificate in Registered Nurse Prescribing
This online, one year course is designed for experienced registered nurses ready to extend their scope of practice. The course develops the knowledge and confidence needed to prescribe medications or renew prescriptions in partnership with an authorised independent prescriber, such as a doctor or nurse practitioner. It responds directly to a growing gap in care, where timely access to prescribers is limited and delays can have real impacts on patients.
