About the Programme

What is GNM Nursing?

GNM — General Nursing and Midwifery — is a 3-year, MSBNPE-certified professional course that trains you to become a fully qualified nurse and midwife.

As a GNM graduate, you deliver patient care in hospitals and clinics, assist doctors in clinical procedures, and specialize in maternity and childcare as a midwife. The programme combines classroom theory with hands-on clinical practice from Year 1.

The final 6-month internship is a paid placement — you earn while you complete your training, gaining real hospital experience before you graduate.
