Rahima Moosa Nursing College Applications and Requirements

The programmes that will be offered at Rahima Moosa include:
- Child Nursing
- Critical Care Nursing (Adult)
- Emergency Nursing
- Midwifery
- Nephrology Nursing
- Occupational Health Nursing
- Oncology and Palliative Nursing
- Orthopaedic Nursing

These are advanced qualifications, which means applicants must already be registered with the South African Nursing Council and must meet all the professional and academic requirements set by the college for each programme.
