GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) is a three-and-a-half-year diploma, while B.Sc Nursing is a four-year degree; both lead to registration as a nurse.
B.Sc Nursing graduates generally have an easier path into postgraduate study such as M.Sc Nursing and into administrative or teaching roles later in their career.
GNM allows earlier entry into paid clinical work, which suits students who need to start earning sooner.
Employers we work with hire from both streams; the deciding factor is usually the candidate's long-term plan rather than one qualification being universally better.
