A re-entry to nursing scholarship can help you return to practice as a nurse or midwife.
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) has two re-entry to practice pathways:
Pathway 1: A period of supervised practice.
Pathway 2: Completion of a NMBA approved re-entry to nursing program.
Our re-entry scholarships are linked to subsequent employment. You must commit to permanent full or part time employment (minimum 16 hours per week) in NSW Health for two years after successfully completing your NMBA approved re-entry to practice pathway and getting full registration.
Re-entry to nursing scholarships are available to local health districts and specialty networks to support your supervised practice. If the NMBA has allowed provisional registration (with conditions), you may be employed during this time.
Re-entry to nursing scholarships valued up to $15,000 are available to support you to complete a re-entry to nursing program approved by the NMBA.
