Training is not nursing registration. Finishing it does not register you with the Nursing and Midwifery Board. Registration is a separate application, with its own standards, after the diploma.
What you work on
The work is the precautions you take before you touch a person or their environment, and what you do when those precautions are not enough. It is a practice, not a poster in a staff room.
What to check on the offer
Ask where you will demonstrate the precautions, and what equipment the provider supplies. Ask to see HLTINF006 on the written unit list.
If you only finish this unit
A statement of attainment for HLTINF006 records this unit only. It is not the Diploma of Nursing. If you want a later provider to count it, ask that provider, against this code, before you plan on the credit.
