Choosing the right nursing course is a big decision. Should you go for a Diploma in Nursing (GNM) or B.Sc. Nursing? Let’s compare:
1. Course Duration
-
GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery): 3 years
-
B.Sc. Nursing: 4 years
2. Career Scope
-
GNM allows you to work as a staff nurse in hospitals and clinics.
-
B.Sc. Nursing opens doors to higher education (M.Sc., Ph.D.) and specialized roles.
3. Eligibility
GNM requires 10+2 with science or arts, while B.Sc. Nursing needs a science background with biology.
4. Salary & Growth
B.Sc. graduates generally have better starting salaries and faster career growth opportunities.
If you’re aiming for advanced studies and leadership roles in nursing, B.Sc. is ideal. If you want to enter the workforce quickly, GNM is a good start.
