Course Structure of the GNM Nursing Program:
The General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) course is typically a three-and-a-half-year diploma program designed to prepare students for a career in nursing and midwifery. The course is divided into three academic years followed by a six-month internship. Each academic year includes a combination of theoretical instruction and practical training, covering core subjects such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Psychology, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Community Health Nursing, and Midwifery. Practical experience is a vital part of the curriculum, with clinical postings in hospitals and community health settings to help students gain hands-on skills. The internship period at the end of the course allows students to apply their learning in real-world healthcare environments under supervision, enhancing their professional competence and confidence.
