One-day, on-demand course for groups of nurses (max 16) across New Zealand.
OET is an International English language test to assess the language and communication skills of healthcare professionals seeking to register and practice in an English-speaking environment.
The findings of my research challenge health policy makers and funders to incorporate clear plans to develop the nurse practitioner workforce as a cost-effective solution for New Zealand and an obvious solution to the current crisis around rural and small town services as the GP workforce disappears.

In the 10 years since I graduated, I have never had a problem getting a job, wherever I am. I’ve nursed in New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
Erin Simmons
Bachelor of Nursing
The Master of Nursing programme will offer me a tremendous influence on the future of nursing by educating and mentoring junior nurses and student nurses. Being able to play such a vital role in the continuous care of entire global communities is something that most people can only dream of.
Gian Carlo Talavera
Master of Nursing
What has hugely stood out is how extremely friendly and approachable all the staff here are. I have found everyone to be helpful and considerate - from finding a book in the library and installing a software program on my computer, to encouraging me to do things out of my comfort zone, staff here go above and beyond.

Master of Philosophy (Nursing)
Massey is one of the best universities in New Zealand. I could not have missed the opportunity to gain professional education from such a well-established, well-renowned university that was in close proximity to me. Also, Massey has some of the best tutors, professors and academia that form a complete educational package that a student can ever dream of.
Inderpreet Kaur

I chose Massey University because of the Nurse Practitioner Training Programme accredited funding through Health Workforce New Zealand and the versatility of attending three different campuses for papers and therefore meeting nurses from all over the country.
Louise Chan - Clinical Nurse Specialist, Southern District Health Board
Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing
I chose Massey because of its extensive choice of papers and the support I got from the word go! All my lecturers were amazingly engaged, wanting us to succeed.
Marie-Lyne Bournival - Nurse Practitioner
Master of Nursing
I think the job opportunities for nurse practitioners in New Zealand are going to increase as we meet the challenges facing our health system. Nurse practitioners will improve the health outcomes for consumers by complementing the role of other health care providers.
Rachel Shaw
Master of Nursing
The course is supported by experienced Nurse Practitioners who teach the course, provide the academic supervision and give practical guidance throughout the year. I was pregnant with my second child when I embarked on my Masters journey and Massey accommodated my circumstances without hesitation. They were very understanding and flexible around my needs.
Signe Stanbridge
Master of Nursing
“The Master of Nursing played a crucial part in influencing what I have done so far in my career. The lecturers were supportive and challenged me to think critically and to express my ideas. As a Māori student I was well supported by Massey through Te Rau Puawai – a programme established by Sir Mason Durie."
Valerie Williams - Kaimanaaki with Te Rau Matatini – National Māori Workforce Centre of Excellence
Master of Nursing
Our nursing programmes are nationally and internationally recognised and approved by the Nursing Council of New Zealand. Students who have completed Massey’s Bachelor of Nursing, can apply for registration as a registered nurse with the Nursing Council of New Zealand.
To prepare undergraduate students for clinical practice, we have nursing simulation suites on our Auckland, Manawatū, and Wellington campuses. Each suite is different, but most have a mock hospital setting, two-way observation spaces, and standard nursing equipment for hospital and community work. Students learn and practice nursing skills through role-play, case-studies and simulations using manikins.
The Nurse Practitioner Training Programme is funded by Health Workforce New Zealand (HWNZ). Its aim is to align and promote NP preparation, registration and employment into a seamless pathway. Applications to apply for selected entry open in October each year.

His first book, A Nurse on the Edge of the Desert captures his remarkable and compelling life story with mordant humour, wisdom and pathos.
