a four-credit unit course for students pursuing BNSc. It is one of the
courses meant to lay your desired foundation for the choice of nursing as
a course of study and profession.
The course consists of 4 Credit units (60 hours of instruction online; 48
hours of laboratory & Clinical Practice). This is a second-year first-
semester concurrent BNSc degree programme course.
The course comprises the bedrock of acquiring necessary elementary
skills amidst health care reforms. The changes in response to social,
political, economic factors, health technology, and advances in the health
care system call for reform in health care delivery have greatly influenced
the setting where nursing is practised coupled with the recipient of care
itself.
