The programs offer several clinical specialties, including Cardiovascular Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, Emergency Care Nursing, and Pediatric Nursing with Specialty Concentration. 

Students in these specialties can graduate with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSc) degree, a Postgraduate Diploma (PG-Dip) degree, or a Postgraduate Certificate (PG-Cert) program. 

Students in the Pediatric Nursing specialty degree programs can also choose to graduate with one of the following concentrations: Pediatric Nursing with a focus on Pediatric Critical Care, Pediatric Emergency Care, or Pediatric Oncology. 

The pediatric nursing clinical specialty program (MSc, PG-Dip, and PG-Cert) enables graduates to earn their degree or certificate with a clinical concentration/focus of study during their final semester. This involves taking a specialty course within the focus area and completing a semester of clinical placement training in the specialty area. 

The advantage of having a concentration within the degree/certificate is to give a clinical focus beyond the general pediatric skills.

The postgraduate programs are designed to equip nurses with the advanced knowledge, skills, and clinical expertise needed to manage and care for patients with complex conditions. Learners will gain a deeper knowledge and sharpen their critical thinking and clinical judgment skills, enhancing their ability to function with more advanced clinical skills and become clinical specialist leaders.

The postgraduate programs at the HBMCoNM offer students the option to exit with a Master’s degree (MSc), a Diploma degree (PG-Dip), or a Certificate (PG-Cert). 

 Once the students meet the admission criteria for the postgraduate program and are enrolled in one of the programs, they can complete the program and earn an MSc degree. However, if for any reason, they could not commit to the entire program of 36 credits, they can exit the program and graduate with a PG-Dip if they finish the 24 required 24 credits, or PG-Cert if they complete the required 18 credits. 

 Yes, students who exit their program of study with a PG-Dip or a PG-Cert can rejoin the program within two years of exiting it to continue their education and earn their Diploma or Master’s degree when they are ready. Exit option means that no matter where you are in your career or education, there is a door open for you to upskill and earn an academic degree or certificate
