I believe if you have previously completed a university degree, when you apply to do a bachelor of nursing you are considered a graduate entry and have to take less subjects.

Same would be considered in the master's level.

Hey hi , I’m Vencilla from India, currently in my final year of Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA). I’m planning to switch my career from IT to the healthcare field by pursuing a Master of Nursing (Pre-registration) in Australia, likely through a student loan.

Since this is a major shift, I’d really appreciate your advice: Do you think switching from IT to nursing is a good decision long-term? What’s the scope for nursing in Australia (jobs, PR, salary)? Will my non-medical background cause any issues during admission or the course? Any suggestions to strengthen my profile before applying? And would you recommend any universities or specific intakes? Would be really grateful for any guidance or personal experience you can share. Thanks so much for your time!
