Fees and entry requirements
Lee Horsley was previously running his own plant nursery, juggling 60-hour working weeks and raising a young family. Today the horticulture graduate is back at university studying for a new career in nursing.
He enrolled in Monash University’s Master of Nursing Practice, an accelerated programme for graduates with non-nursing bachelor degrees. “For the first time I feel that I am doing what I should be doing,” he said.
On his first day at Monash, Lee was surprised to discover that nursing required a lot of technical knowledge and a lot more responsibility than he had expected. “The course has been challenging, especially as it is an accelerated programme, but I love a challenge.”
Students in the Master of Nursing Practice spend half the week in class and the other half in clinical practice. Lee said the curriculum was well matched to the clinical experience, giving students an opportunity to immediately apply academic knowledge.
He said the highlights of his nursing experience so far included the satisfaction of providing care to a patient struggling to care for themselves.
When he completes the programme, Lee hopes to spend some time working on hospital wards consolidating his nursing skills before specialising in coronary care
