About the course
Programme highlights
Become a registered nurse with unique skills to support and enhance Pacific health.
This programme has a strong emphasis on cultural-identity and connections to Pacific and nursing world-views. Pacific ways of knowing and learning are woven throughout this programme giving you the practical healthcare skills and hands-on clinical experience to work within your community.
Smaller class sizes encourage a sense of family, aiga (Samoan), kopu tangata (Cook Islands), kāinga (Tongan), magafaoa (Niuean), matavuvale (Fijian) and kāiga (Tokelau, Tuvalu) and contributes to life-long connections.
Pacific leaders, communities and organisations work collaboratively with MIT to enable you to form relationships with those in the health sector.
When you graduate, you’ll be ready to sit the Nursing Council of New Zealand State Examination and apply for registration as a registered nurse in New Zealand.

Please note: Vaccination for COVID-19 is no longer an expectation for workers (including student nurses) in the public health system. Health NZ published a notice on 19 December 2024 stating the Pre-employment COVID-19 Vaccination Policy is withdrawn. This means that while getting vaccinated for COVID-19 is still highly recommended, it won’t be expected of student nurses. Students in nursing programmes at MIT will no longer be required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or provide proof of vaccination to MIT. Other immunisation requirements are still in place (please see your programme information for details). To protect yourself and others, it is important to stay up to date with the latest COVID-19 vaccines as the virus changes, follow the latest immunisation recommendations, and be aware of any new infectious disease risks in your area.
Entry requirements
