As one of the largest nursing faculties in the country, we provide many opportunities for students to gain valuable, hands-on experience both laboratory with state-of-the-art simulation experiences using high-fidelity mannequins as well as clinical experiences throughout the programs that will ensure them receive a well-rounded education founded both in academic theory and real-world application to meet the health needs of the country and global communities. We are part of a dynamic campus environment of discovery, creativity and engagement. Our programs prepare graduates to thrive and lead in these exciting times of complexity and change.
Through innovations in teaching approaches and through our programs of nursing research, leadership and health services management, the Faculty of Nursing at KCN transforms students into our next generation health care leaders and managers. We have diversified our programs such that unlike in the past whereby our focus was solely on nursing and midwifery, we currently also specialize in other programs like Child Health Nursing, Adult Health Nursing, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, Community Health Nursing, Health Services Management and Leadership as well as Entrepreneurship which gives students a wider range of specializations and working fields including Non-Governmental Organisations once they complete a program.
