Mentorship
In order to promote high professional practice wherever our trained graduates are found or work, the Institution has identified mentorship as a vital tool to shape attitude through positive role-model behavior in professional practice. Through this mentorship programme, students are nurtured to emulate or reciprocate better attitudes of mentors that will make them unique in delivering exceptional care for their patients to achieve optimum health through practice. Thus the importance of the role of the mentor and the impact from the mentorship is dear to the Institution and must never be taken for granted or under estimated by both the mentor and mentee.

General Nursing
The programme is for non-nurses, and is designed to prepare for a career in professional nursing by gaining sufficient knowledge and clinical expertise to function independently as well as in collaboration with other members of the health care team. By the end of the programme, the graduates are expected to develop skills in critical thinking and ability to provide competent and compassionate care to the sick as well as educating the general populace on their health. The programme is designed for full-time study only.
Diploma in
Community Nursing
The programme is for non-nurses, and is designed not only to highlight their clinical skills, but also their critical thinking, advocacy, and analytical abilities in community settings. Communities are dynamic, and nurses must adapt to be able to provide clients with whatever care they need. Their training will ensure adaptability and willingness to provide care in many settings, including community health clinics, churches, foster homes, and schools. The programme will provide basic training needed for nurses to provide comprehensive care to patients within their homes, at organized events such as health fairs, and at agencies and institutions serving people who have particular health needs. The programme will also ensure that nurses have the necessary skills to provide expectant and new mothers the needed resources to appropriately care for themselves and their children.

Students will learn collaborative management of the care of women and newborns with complications.
