Nursing combines patient care with observation and communication
Nurses care for patients, observe changes in their condition and work with healthcare teams. The work includes supporting treatment, explaining care to patients and families, and keeping care records. Consider whether you want a course centred on these responsibilities.
Nursing extends from hospitals to community services
Nurses work in hospitals and community health services. Nursing education involves teaching and guiding students. Nursing administration involves coordinating care, staff and services. Teaching roles depend on the required qualifications and experience. Students have taken part in a health camp, a cleanliness drive and health-education home visits on hand hygiene. These activities help you understand how nursing includes prevention and health education as well as care during illness.
Diploma and degree routes have different entry points
GNM, or General Nursing and Midwifery, is a diploma. B.Sc Nursing is a degree. Post Basic B.Sc Nursing is a degree programme for GNM holders.
