Nursing is generally considered to be a professional course meant for Science stream (Biology group) students. But there are nursing courses available in India, which can be pursued after completing 12th Arts/Commerce stream schooling too! In this article, I will provide more details about those courses.

Details covered include eligibility criteria, course details, admission process, syllabus, career prospects and career paths available.
Note: The above mentioned programs are Diploma courses. I’ll provide you the career path to follow, in order to get a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.
GNM would be the best course among the 2 nursing courses mentioned above. After completing GNM course and registering as an R.N.R.M., one may pursue B.Sc.

After completing B.Sc. Nursing Post Basic program, one may then go for advanced courses like M.Sc. Nursing, PG Diploma in Nursing, M.Phil. Nursing and PhD program.
