About
This FACT indicates the percentage of a state's university population that is currently undertaking a course for initial registration as a nurse for the year 2016. Nursing is a profession within the health care sector, and an integral role in the establishment of healthy and prosperous communities.
Interestingly, the number of students studying to become a nurse is not influenced by the number of universities in each state/territory, neither in hard numbers nor as a percentage of population.
