WHAT DOES A CAREER IN NURSING ENTAIL?

Nursing, as a profession, is based on scientific knowledge which is acquired during the four years of study at a nursing college.

This knowledge will equip nurses to help prevent disease, to educate people on health issues, enhance health, and support ill patients both physically and psychologically.

As a dedicated health care professional, you will be required to treat every patient as an individual and consider all aspects of the patient e.g. their physical, psychological, and social well-being.
