IMC‘s Diploma in Nursing programme strives for excellence in preparing our future nurses to be knowledgeable, competent, compassionate and ethical professionals, prepared to provide leadership and scholarship in all areas of nursing practice. Throughout our program we will help students develop and advance nursing knowledge.
Nursing is the integration of the knowledge and practice of human care. Nursing knowledge arises out of theory, scientific inquiry and critical reflection. It is this synergistic effect that enables nurses to understand and significantly contribute to health and healing. Nurses employ theoretical, intuitive, moral and ethical reasoning in their practice. The course involves a comprehensive and varied program of study involving simulated practice and fieldwork, team learning, clinical skills development, and biological,behavioural and nursing science.It is organised around the study of individuals within the family and community, and emphasises the integration of nursing theory with clinical practice to provide students with an opportunity for experiential learning.
