B.Sc Nursing Top-up Program.
|
|
INSCOL Academy has
entered into a unique teaching collaboration with the University
of Sunderland, UK to offer the BSc (Nursing) top-up program
in Chandigarh.
|
 |
|
The Post-registration
BSc Nursing Program addresses an established need of a large
pool of nurses from the sub-continent to seek better socio-economic
prospects as well as career advancement and at the same time
aims to cater to the ever growing need of qualified nurses by
the healthcare facilities in the developed as well as in the
developing countries.
|
|
|
Advantage : Healthcare Provider-Recruiter- Healthcare
providers in the United Kingdom, faced with an acute shortage
of Registered Nurses, stand to benefit in a number of ways :
|
|
|
Ready access to a regular flow of NMC
registered nurses with preferred qualification of BSc.(Nursing)
from a local University. Healthcare providers are assured
that the nurses completing the program would have the
requisite knowledge and would be well versed with the
prevailing nursing practices. Compared to international
nurses recruited directly from overseas, these nurses
would require less extensive induction program and could
be posted on regular independent duty in a shorter period.The
facility saves on its own resources required to train
& educate the nurses recruited directly from overseas.Since
the nurses would have lived in the UK for some time
during their course studies, they would be more socially
adapted and would be "ready-for-patients" in all aspects. |
