14 years becomes 16 years
HEC counts a nursing diploma with midwifery as 14 years of education. With Post RN BSN it counts as 16 years, which many jobs, promotions and master's admissions ask for.
Post RN BSN
2 years, 4 semesters, 64 credit hours. Degree from The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, regulated by PNMC.
How Post RN BSN helps you
Many diploma nurses are not sure what this degree changes. Here is what it does for you.
The way to MSN opens
A BSN lets you apply for MSN. At some universities, Post RN BSN holders also get extra merit points in MSN admission.
A better grade abroad
In Saudi Arabia, diploma nurses are usually classed as Nursing Technicians and BSN nurses as Staff Nurses. The class decides your salary and job title.
Easier for UK and Canada
Diploma nurses are asked for extra proof of their training. A degree from a recognised university makes your application stronger.
Ready to teach and lead
You study teaching, clinical preceptorship, leadership and management, and research. Useful for instructor and ward in-charge roles.
No repeating the basics
It builds on what you already know, so there is no Fundamentals of Nursing or Anatomy again.
