The Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Midwifery is a double degree program which allows you to qualify as a registered nurse and midwife. This can be studied at university.

If you become a Registered Nurse you need to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia as a Registered Nurse, so you need to make sure the course you complete is approved by the Board.
