Abstract

Enrolled Nurses (EN) seeking to upgrade their qualification to Registered Nurse(RN) are commonly given direct entry into the second year of university preregistration nursing degrees. This typically results in enrolment into science subjects including pathophysiology and pharmacology with the assumption thatstudents have undertaken the requisite foundational content as part of theirVocational Education and Training (VET) diploma. However, many of these students experience an education gap after completing their program and/or work in specialist units such as mental health. This paper reports on the development of website designed by a multisite team of experts to fill this gap and so support EN transitioning to university. The website includes modules which cover the chemistry, biology and anatomy & physiology judged to be requisite knowledge for effective engagement with pathophysiology and pharmacology subjects. This site will be piloted with nursing students at the partner institutions and subsequently made publicly available.
