Note: While the nominal term for students studying the Diploma of Nursing full-time is three semesters or eighteen months, the flexible nature of VET means that students can elect to study part time in order to keep a part time job or to manage other commitments such as childcare.
It can take up to five years for a qualification completion to be reported so these numbers will continue to be revised upwards as additional completions are reported.
