The Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Venda is a comprehensive four-year professional degree that prepares graduates for registration with the South African Nursing Council (SANC) as professional nurses. Students develop clinical competencies across medical-surgical nursing, maternal and child health, community health, mental health, and critical care, supported by structured clinical placements at hospitals and community health settings in Limpopo. South Africa faces a severe nursing shortage, and UNIVEN's nursing graduates play a vital role in strengthening the healthcare workforce of one of the country's most underserved provinces.
