HLT64121 Advanced Diploma of Nursing

HERC is pleased to offer the HLT64121 Advanced Diploma of Nursing that commenced in September 2024.

This qualification reflects the role of enrolled nurses with advanced skills who work in a specialised area of nursing practice under the direct or indirect supervision of a registered nurse.

Enrolled nurses integrate and adapt specialised, technical and theoretical knowledge to address a diverse range of clinical situations and challenges in their area of specialisation. They contribute to the continuous improvement of clinical practice using research and participation in broader organisational quality processes. Enrolled nurses retain responsibility for their own actions while remaining accountable to the registered nurse for all delegated functions. State Government funding may be available to eligible learners.

Enrolments for our HLT64121 Advanced Diploma of Nursing – Acute Care Stream are now open!





HLTENN040 Administer and Monitor Medicines and Intravenous Therapy

HERC is pleased to offer the HLTENN040 Administer and Monitor Medicines and Intravenous Therapy as a stand-alone unit for all Enrolled Nurses who would like to advance their current scope of practice to include administering and monitoring medications and intravenous (IV) therapy in line with the Australian Health Professional Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) requirements.


In this specialised short course, you will learn how to administer and monitor medicine and intravenous (IV) therapy as an Enrolled Nurse, including calculating dosage requirements, reading and applying written instructions from an authorised prescriber, assessing the person for medicine effectiveness and side effects, and responding to an allergic pharmacological reaction. Enrol here.
