Well, I think that the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing
offered by some Kenyan universities is quite good. After going through the
program, you come out as a highly skilled nursing professional – one who is
acquainted not just with the manual aspects of nursing, but quite a bit of
medical science as well. Actually there is a time I heard that the people who
graduated with the Bachelor of Science degrees in Kenya would on average only need only two or so years of extra training, to qualify as doctors. If that is true, then it would mean
that the folks with the Bachelor of Science degrees in nursing are very highly
skilled professionals, who are as knowledgeable on some aspects of treatment as the doctors!
In the
labor market, the people with the Kenyan Bachelor of Science degrees in nursing
have to compete with folks who have the diploma in nursing from KMTC. This can
cause challenges, as I was told, because the folks with the Bachelor of Science
degrees in nursing are likely to demand somewhat higher salaries than the folks
with the KMTC registered nurse diplomas. But hospitals that have hired the folks with Bachelor of Science in Nursing know that they tend to be very highly
skilled professionals, who can handle challenging situations, and that
justifies the higher pay accorded to them.
