Bachelor of Science in Nursing
About this programme
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing programme is intended to produce competent professional nurses who will give holistic nursing care to patients/clients, families and communities. They would collaborate with other health professionals to achieve teamwork. They would manage human and other resources prudently within the health care system, and continually participate in education of health personnel as well as engage in research activities. Finally, they will adhere to the Christian principles and beliefs in all their endeavours. Nursing education entails teaching of nursing theory, skills and attitude that prepare the student to take up a responsible and accountable position as a registered nurse. We believe that nursing is a highly valued societal service.
