BA/BS in Nursing

Nursing is a four-year program awarding a Bachelor of Science. Kunming Medical University opened the first nursing diploma education in Yunnan, began recruiting undergraduates later, and now describes the subject as a national first-class program that has passed national accreditation. Twelve core courses form the backbone. The basic group includes histology and embryology, human anatomy, pathogen biology and immunology, pathology, physiology and pharmacology, while the specialty group covers fundamentals of nursing, health assessment, adult nursing, obstetric and gynecologic nursing, pediatric nursing and critical care nursing. A large skills training center and a network of general hospitals inside and outside the province support clinical learning. Graduates mainly enter clinical nursing, health and elder care, nursing education and research. They may sit the national nurse licensing examination in their year of graduation.
