Thirty five registered nurses will commence the first ever Bridging Program offered by the RCSI-MUB and a course that is the first of its kind in the Kingdom of Bahrain. These nurses come from a range of specialities, from hospitals within Bahrain and overseas. The programme is designed for registered nurses who have not engaged in recent educational studies, but wish to further both their professional and personal development by upgrading their qualification to a degree. This two year, part time course means that after completion the nurses will graduate with a BSc (Bachelor of Nursing). The BSc education modules provide an opportunity for nurses to undertake education to enhance both personal and professional development and perform. The programme is developed in a modular framework and is modeled on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Orientation day is the 14th of January, and the university will welcome the nurses and get them introduced to the syllabus that they can expect to encounter during the program.
Present during this Orientation period will be Foundation President of RCSI-MUB Prof Kevin O’Malley and different heads of Departments from the RCSI-MUB plus delegates from the Bahrain Defence Force Hospital (BDF) including Captain Amal.
