DHBs throughout New Zealand have responsibility for identifying and prioritising funding for postgraduate training needs for all registered nurses within their district who are employed by health and disability services funded by the DHB or Ministry of Health. 
|
The graduate nurse represents the future of the nursing profession and as such we believe you should have the opportunity to develop your professional and practice roles in a supportive environment that models excellence in nursing practice, leadership, professionalism and best practice principles.
The purpose of these pages is to provide information relating to Health Workforce Directorate (formerly HWNZ) funding and support available for nursing postgraduate study.
Assisting key stakeholders in postgraduate education to be well informed and assist the decision-making process around postgraduate study is a key focus.
Key stakeholders include:
-
Registered Nurses considering postgraduate study
