Your Nursing Career Starts Here
Leading the way on health-care teams, registered nurses are in high demand for their clinical skills and theoretical knowledge. Over the course of your studies, you’ll be involved in active learning within the classroom, with small clinical groups in a variety of off-campus nursing practice settings, and in simulated clinical laboratories.
The college runs two academic programmes namely:
- A two-year certificate programme in Nursing Assistant Clinical(NAC) and
- A three-year Diploma in Registered General Nursing(RGN).
The college is also aspiring to start a Post NAP/NAC Midwifery programe. Both programmes have heads, who coordinate all teaching, learning and clinical activities.
The college’s academic calendar has been organized into a semester system and instruction takes the form of courses evaluated in terms of credits. Units of courses are examinable at the end of every semester, and if passed, a student shall earn credit(s) for the units. The courses are coded and numbered in progressive order of difficulty or the levels of academic progression.
Each programme provides detailed information about the structure of courses leading to the award of Diploma.
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that required courses for each semester are registered. Each student is expected to be familiar with the specific requirements of the programme which he/she plans to pursue, as well as the rules, regulations and policies of the college.
