Courses Leading to Add-Reg

Registered Nurse Tutor (RNT)

A nurse/midwife who is registered with An Bord Altranais may apply to undertake a specific masters course.

Successful completion of the masters course, with the appropriate strand, entitles the student to apply for registration with An Bord Altranais as a nurse tutor (RNT). There is not a separate register for midwife tutors.

The masters courses are:

• Master of Health Sciences Nursing/Midwifery Education at NUIG (July 2007 to July 2012)
• Master in Science in Midwifery (Clinical Health Science Education) at TCD (Jul 06 to Jul 2011)
• Master in Science in Nursing (Clinical Health Science Education) at TCD (Jul 06 to Jul 2011)

A nurse/midwife who already holds a masters degree in nursing/midwifery or in an allied health science subject, may, subject to the degree being deemed suitable by An Bord Altranais, undertake a further post-graduate qualification in education, and subsequently may apply for registration as a tutor with An Bord Altranais.

Two such courses currently available are as follows:

• Post-Graduate Diploma in Nursing/Midwifery Education at NUIG (July 2007 to July 2012)
• Post-Graduate Diploma in Clinical Health Sciences Education at TCD (July 06 to July 2011)
