Southern Institute of Technology

If you are a natural carer, patient, compassionate and want to help others, the New Zealand Diploma in Enrolled Nursing will help you start your healthcare career in just 18 months. Enrolled Nurses are an essential part of our healthcare sector and provide nursing care in collaboration with Registered Nurses or other registered health practitioners. Government vaccine mandates finished on Monday 26 September - this means you will no longer need to supply evidence of your Covid-19 vaccination status to apply for our nursing programmes. However, most clinical placement providers will want to see evidence that you are vaccinated against COVID-19. We cannot guarantee clinical placements without this evidence, as per our clinical placement agreements with clinical providers. Clinical placements are an integral part of our nursing programmes and you'll need to complete these to be able to successfully achieve your qualification.
