Because it promotes health, prevents illness, and provides care for physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled people of all ages in all healthcare and community settings, nursing is a crucial component of the health care system. Nurses working in this vast area of medicine are particularly interested in “responses to present or expected health problems” for the individual, family, and group levels (ANA, 1980, P.9). These human responses could take the form of measures to improve the long-term health of a population or health-restoring responses to a single epidemic of illness.

How much does nursing cost?

• Each program has its own unique set of expenses. Getting a bachelor’s degree — At private colleges and major universities, the cost of tuition for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing ranges from $40,000 to well over $100,000 year (BSN).

Is it feasible to study nursing without matriculation?

• Without a high school diploma, pursuing a nursing career is quite challenging. To enroll in a university, you must have completed high school; however, if you take a health course at a TVET institution, you will be qualified to become a nurse. However, Grade 9 is required for this.
