Shoutout to my beautiful fan who asked me this 👇
"Please, between College of Nursing and University, which one is better?"
I’ve been seeing this question everywhere lately, but I had to make this post for you specifically because I see you ❤️
Okay so here’s my honest opinion as a student nurse:
For College of Nursing
It’s 3 years. It’s very practical and straight to clinical.
When you finish and pass NMCN, you come out with your RN certificate.
You’re in the ward fast.
For University B.Nsc
It’s 5 years. You’ll do theory + clinical together.
When you finish and pass NMCN, you get TWO things: your B.Nsc DEGREE + your RN certificate.
And the best part? You have more options later. MSc, PhD, teaching, research, admin, public health, management... the list goes on.
Even I have a coursemate that graduated from School of Nursing, but still came back to uni to get the other certificates and degree. That tells you something 😅
Look, truth is both of them are good. We’ll still write the same NMCN exams and wear the same uniform to save lives 💉
But if you’re the type that wants more certificates, a degree, and more career paths outside just bedside, then University gives you that extra advantage.
Both paths are valid. Just pick what works for your goals, time and money.
And to my fan who asked — wherever you go, you’re going to be an amazing nurse. I believe in you 🥹
