Can you suggest the best courses after B.Sc nursing?

The days have gone so far that those who have finished B.Sc in nursing are thinking of other options rather than M.Sc nursing. The scope of M.Sc Nursing has diminished in India owing to the rapidly increasing no. of post graduates from numerous colleges in India. The newly passed out M.Sc nurses are ready to work as a staff nurse or as a teacher with staff nurse salary. Most of the nursing students who join MSN programme want to leave nursing at the clinical side. So if the scope of M.Sc Nursing is diminishing, what are the other PG programmes or courses they can pursue after BSc Nursing? Here are some courses which you can do after B.Sc in nursing: 1. MHA (Master of Health Administration/Master of Hospital Administration) Both these courses are available at Tata Institute of Social Sciences TISS, Mumbai Campus. TISS offers more than 90% surety in campus placement in these courses. 2. MPH (Master of Public Health) Many national institutes like Sree Chitra (SCTIMST)-Trivandrum, PGIMER-Chandigarh, AIIMS-New Delhi, etc., conduct MPH course, but SCTIMST and National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) only allows nurses to pursue MPH after their graduation. 3. MBA (Hospital Administration) MBA in Hospital Administration is a regular full-time 2 year Course in prestigious institutes like IIM-Calicut will surely render nice job opportunities after the completion of the programme. Even though you can earn this degree through distance education from many universities like Bharathiar University, better to go with some recognized institutes if you are planning regular MBA programme. 4. MSW (Master of Social Work) If you are planning to do IELTS and leave for European countries, US or Australia, MSW in Medicine and Psychiatry is a good option for nurses after their graduation particularly for those who like to work in European countries or US. After MSW, you can work as a case manager in the hospitals of Europe. 5. MBBS Yes, you heard it. I have seen some people moving to Philipines and West Indies for doing MBBS. For Keralites, let me tell you one fact that most of the nurses don't know, in Kerala Medical Entrance one seat of MBBS is exclusively reserved for a B.Sc nurse. 6. Nurse educator/clinical instructor M.Sc Nurses have a nice option in the Middle-East of becoming nurse educator/clinical instructor in hospitals. I have a friend in Kuwait who is working as a nurse educator in a hospital. But how to reach there and grab the job? The mystery lies there.
