Nursing education is a continuous and evolving process where students acquire essential nursing and midwifery knowledge and skills, leading to positive changes in their professional behavior. This education involves active, lifelong learning, building on prior knowledge and experience.
Learning in nursing education is most effective when students are motivated and ready; their dignity is respected, teaching methods are carefully chosen to encourage critical thinking, and professional or clinical role modeling is provided.
Basic nursing education offers a formally recognized program that provides a broad foundation in the behavioral, life, and nursing sciences. It prepares students for general nursing practice, leadership roles, and further education in specialized or advanced nursing practices. Nobel College provides students with the best BSc nursing program in Nepal and helps them build strong careers in nursing.
