i am a graduate nurse.
i have observed in most of the hospitals, that whether you are a graduate nurse or a diploma holder, that makes no difference, work assigned to them are same, no difference as such seen in salary also....
then whats the point of appointing a BSc nurse, there should be marked difference between them, so, that everybody knows that and understand the difference.

multi purpose nurse is a 4th class job

please tell me that is g.n.m called b.sc nursing

Can i able to do M.sc nursing after GNM?

what is requirements for nurses job in army ?

please tell the difference between GNM and B.Sc nursing

If you have done your 12th in science background with Physics, Chemistry and Biology then you may study B.Sc nursing. GNM is for those who are having Commerece background or other than science.

Second point is, GNM is for those student who wish to study in a way that does not make their study hard as compare to Degree STudy. In a degree, format is tough than Diploma. (this is what is known for general case)

GNM followed by B.SC nursing gives better learning and experience as compare to B.SC only.

For India B.sc nursing and GNM stand for the same value. In early time, there was only GNM However B.sc nursing started later.

For job abroad opportunity, gulf and many other country accept both qualification with their own additional exam.

For GNM, for job abroad there may be mandatory 6 month additional course needed to be done abroad.

If you have more question, you may ask me at [email protected] am not nursing student however it is one of my interest for my NGO and i have worked as a Nurse Assistant during my study in australia so i had some knowledge about it. One day i wish to study.

In india it is bad situation that apart from science student, directBsc nursing option is not available for commerce study. Country like australia have even 2 year B.sc nursing course for any stream student. (latrobe university for ex,)

INC should focus on the demand and improved academic course structure.

Thanx for your consult

Pls reply.

BSc Nursing and GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) are both educational programs in the field of nursing, but they differ in terms of their academic level, duration, and scope of practice.

1. BSc Nursing:

*BSc Nursing is Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
*It is a four-year undergraduate degree program offered by various universities and colleges.
*The curriculum of BSc Nursing is more comprehensive and in-depth compared to GNM.
*The program focuses on building a strong foundation in the theoretical and practical aspects of nursing, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, pediatric nursing, psychiatric nursing, community health nursing, and nursing research.
*BSc Nursing graduates are equipped with a broader understanding of nursing concepts, leadership skills, and critical thinking abilities.
*After completing BSc Nursing, graduates can pursue advanced degrees like Master of Science in Nursing (MSc Nursing), specialize in specific areas of nursing, take up teaching positions, or work in various healthcare settings.

2. GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery):

*GNM is a diploma program in nursing.
*It is a three and a half year course, including both theoretical and practical training.
*The GNM curriculum primarily focuses on providing basic nursing care and midwifery skills.
