CAREER GUIDE : How to become a Nurse Practitioner

This career guide has been created by the Australian College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) to provide nursing students and registered nurses with information regarding the Nurse Practitioner (NP) role, career path and opportunities.

The decision to become a NP involves long-term goals and it is important to the ACNP that you have access to accurate information to advance your career.

Becoming a Nurse Practitioner will enable you to practice independently and autonomously, allowing you to fulfil your full potential as a nurse and giving you the opportunity to address Australia’s increasing demand for health services where they are most needed.
