Banaras Hindu University (BHU) offers a Diploma in Health Care Nursing course. This course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a successful health care nurse. The course is divided into two parts: a theoretical component and a practical component.

The theoretical component of the course covers topics such as anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical terminology, nutrition, and health care ethics. Students also learn about the different types of health care services, including primary care, long-term care, and home health care. In addition, students learn about the legal and ethical aspects of health care, as well as the roles and responsibilities of health care professionals.

The practical component of the course includes clinical experience in a variety of health care settings. Students gain hands-on experience in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. They also learn how to provide patient education and support, as well as how to manage health care resources.

Upon completion of the course, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). This exam is required for licensure as a registered nurse in the United States.
