No, nurses in India do not typically study MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery). MBBS is a professional degree for individuals pursuing a career as a medical doctor or physician. Nurses, on the other hand, pursue nursing education through different programs specific to their field.
While nurses and doctors work closely together in healthcare settings, their educational paths are distinct. Nurses focus on nursing care, patient advocacy, health promotion, and disease prevention, while doctors (MBBS graduates) receive training to diagnose illnesses, prescribe treatments, and perform medical procedures.
