As an institution, we believe that nursing education should be relevant to the needs of the community and acts as a channel through which nurses develop a basis for decision making and evaluation. Therefore, our curriculum ensures competency-based educational approaches through which our students acquire necessary competences to respond to the health needs of individuals, families and communities. It involves both classroom teaching and practical sessions in various hospitals and community set-up. The institution has highly qualified and dedicated faculty who deliver responsive and action oriented training to equip learners with skills in a comprehensive and holistic approach. Since its inception the school has had excellent student performance both in theory and practical skills. Our graduates are successful nurses wherever they are not only due to the knowledge and skills obtained from the institution but also the relevance of the training and above all the abundance of God’s grace.
