Private Universities Offering Nursing in Kenya

Private Universities Offering Nursing in Kenya: 

If you missed out on nursing in KMTC – or you don’t want to compete with the thousands applying for the course at KMTC- maybe you should consider enrolling in one of the Private Universities Offering Nursing in Kenya.

I have checked them out and they are as follows:

Private Universities Offering Nursing in Kenya

1. AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY – Nairobi and very popular (Owned by the Aga Khan family)
2. AMREF INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY-Nairobi

Note that most of these offer the BScN (Pre Service) Programme though a few offer the BScN (In Service – As a PART TIME programme)

I’d recommend that you apply as soon as possible if your dream is to become a nurse..of course we keep saying that nursing is one of the most in demand courses out there.

To apply, go to their respective websites and first familiarize yourself with the requirements and intake details. Then you can choose to apply online or physically (you visit them)

Of course, this information is publicly available from the Nursing Council Website and remember that the Nursing council is the body that controls and regulates the training and licensing of nurses in Kenya (so nursing courses in Kenya fall under them).
