Three years. Real wards. Bedside-ready from rotation one.
GNM at Oyster College puts you into clinical settings from the first year — bedside care, community health, and midwifery taught by practitioners who still work in those wards.
What three years of GNM actually covers
Duration: 3 years full-time, structured across foundational nursing science, hands-on bedside care, community health postings, and a supervised midwifery module.
Clinical rotations begin in year one across hospital wards and community health centres — not deferred to a final-year internship.
Program focus: bedside nursing procedure, primary care delivery, obstetric and newborn care, and foundational anatomy and pharmacology.
Minimum academic qualification
