BSc in Nursing

Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing) at B&B Medical Institute

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), commonly searched as BSc Nursing, at B&B Medical Institute in Gwarko, Lalitpur, is a four-year bachelor-level nursing program affiliated with Purbanchal University. BMI introduced the program in 2013 AD for students entering nursing education from a science background with Biology.

The curriculum combines basic health sciences, nursing foundations, hospital and community nursing, midwifery, research, education, and management with substantial practical study. B&B Hospital serves as an important clinical setting for students during their nursing education.

Quick Highlights

The Purbanchal University BSN curriculum is structured across four academic years and includes 141 theory credit hours and 122 practical credit hours.

Who Can Study BSc Nursing?

The Purbanchal University curriculum sets a science-based academic entry route for BSN. Candidates are required to have completed Intermediate Science, 10+2, or A Level with Biology, with an equivalent C+ or 50% aggregate. It also specifies that candidates must be physically and mentally fit and must have completed 17 years of age.

Admission to bachelor-level nursing education is based on MECEE-BL and follows the prevailing rules, procedures, scholarship provisions, seat allocation system, fee structure, and admission requirements of the Medical Education Commission (MEC), Nepal.

MEC rules applicable to the admission cycle take precedence for entrance, seat allocation, scholarships, fees, and related admission procedures.

What Students Study

The four-year curriculum moves from basic sciences and nursing foundations to clinical nursing, community health, midwifery, research, education, and management.

First Year

First-year study covers:

• Anatomy and Physiology

• Biochemistry

• Microbiology/Parasitology

• Pathophysiology

• Pharmacology

• Nutrition and Dietetics

• Foundation of Nursing

• Community Health Nursing-I

The year establishes the scientific and nursing foundation required for later clinical study.

Second Year

The second year includes:

• Nursing Concept and Theories

• Medical-Surgical Nursing-I

• Medical-Surgical Nursing-II

• Psychiatric Nursing

• Community Health Nursing-II

• Medical Sociology/Anthropology

• Geriatric Nursing

Clinical nursing becomes more prominent during this stage, alongside community, psychiatric, social, and geriatric perspectives.

Third Year

Third-year study covers Pediatric Nursing, Midwifery-I, Midwifery-II, Midwifery-III, Community Health Nursing-III, Basic Epidemiology, and Gynaecology Nursing. Most of these nursing subjects include practical components.

Fourth Year

The final year includes Research and Biostatistics in Nursing, Educational Science, Leadership and Management, and Medical-Surgical Nursing-III. The advanced medical-surgical component covers cardiopulmonary, oncology, nephrology, and neurology areas.

Practical and Clinical Learning

Practical education forms a substantial part of the BSN structure. Teaching and learning methods include lectures, discussions, demonstrations, problem-based learning, skill-lab simulation, observation, field practice, clinical practice, assignments, project work, and group presentations.

At BMI, students also have clinical exposure through B&B Hospital. The hospital has departments covering areas such as general medicine, surgery, orthopedics, gynaecology and obstetrics, paediatrics, neuroscience, cardiology, ENT, oncology, nephrology, psychiatry, ophthalmology, and other medical and surgical services.

This hospital connection places clinical learning close to the college's academic setting in Gwarko.

Assessment and Examination

For theory subjects, the Purbanchal University curriculum divides assessment into:

• Internal Assessment: 20%

• Final Assessment: 80%

Practical evaluation is divided equally between internal and final evaluation. Practical assessment can involve procedure evaluation, case study or presentation, nursing care plans, project work, performance evaluation, logbooks, simulation, OSPE/OSCE, and viva components.

What the Program Prepares Students For

The BSN curriculum develops learning across hospital nursing, community health nursing, family and reproductive health, midwifery, nursing education, management, and basic research. It also integrates the nursing process throughout the program.

The curriculum prepares graduates for responsibilities such as care provider, nursing officer, faculty member, and basic-level researcher across hospitals, communities, educational settings, and health institutions. Employment depends on professional licensing, eligibility for individual positions, experience, and applicable recruitment requirements.

Nursing Licensing after Graduation

Completion of the academic program does not by itself complete the professional entry process. Graduates must pass the applicable professional council licensing examination before entering nursing practice.

Students completing nursing education should follow the licensing requirements of the Nepal Nursing Council applicable at the time of registration and professional entry.

Fees, Scholarships and Seats

BSc Nursing seats, scholarships, fee structures, and related admission provisions are governed by prevailing MEC decisions and the applicable admission cycle. These details can change under MEC rules and the official calendar.

Applicants should follow the applicable MECEE-BL admission notice and MEC provisions for the intake in which they apply.
