Nursing competence in the global market

Tweet

The present four year nursing program includes three summers. If summer is equivalent to a semester, then the present nursing program is actually five and and half year long. Therefore, the proposal of the Commission on Higher Education to add one more year to what is at present a four year course that is a five year course without summers is better for two reasons. 1. nursing students can enjoy a much needed respite during summer and 2. their parents will be given time to save money for the following semester.
