A degree-completion path for GNM graduates
The Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing (P.B.B.Sc. Nursing) is a two-year undergraduate program designed for diploma-holding nurses (GNM graduates) who wish to upgrade their qualifications and skills to a degree level. The course delivers advanced knowledge in nursing, healthcare management and specialised patient care, preparing students for leadership roles.
