Does entry into the Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme depend on having a Nurse Practitioner role post-completion, if not what is the requirement?

Answer

I am advised that entry into the Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme does not require applicants to have a confirmed Nurse Practitioner role following completion. However, candidates must have employer support for the practicum year. While an intention or ability for post-completion employment may be preferred, it is not a mandatory requirement.
