The Bachelor of Nursing at Walter Sisulu University is a four-year degree at the Mthatha campus that aims to produce competent professional nurse practitioners across a comprehensive scope of health service settings. Graduates are qualified with a broad clinical scope that includes obstetric skills, mental health, and primary health care, enabling them to function as first-level contact health service providers within a referral system. Nurses are the backbone of South Africa's public health system, and WSU's proximity to Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital and the Eastern Cape's rural health infrastructure makes its nursing graduates vital to the province's health outcomes.
