I would say unlikely.

Generally, self-education deduction is for education related to your CURRENT employment duties not your future employment duties. Your current employment is registered nurse, not nurse manager.

"Self-education has a sufficient connection to earning your employment income if it either:

• maintains or improves the specific skills or knowledge you require for your current employment activities
• results in, or is likely to result in, an increase in your income from your current employment activities."
