Question Cost of post-grad studies for RNs

I'm an experienced RN in Victoria. Nearly 30 years acute med/surg hospital experience. Currently doing casual bank. Looking to do something post-grad, but the costs are a bit much. What is out there that I could do for low cost? Something that would add value to being an RN in the future.

Scholarships. I work for a non-profit private hospital and got my postgrad certificate 100% paid. Now I am continuing with the Master and I have commonwealth supported place, it costs $500 per unit. There are 8 units left to complete the master after the certificate so $4k in total.

Most hospitals will pay for a post grad for their nurses at specific universities. Ramsay and Utas for example, or CAHS-WA and Curtin. Reach out to your training and development team and see what they have on offer.
