➤ Theory vs. Clinical Split

How clinical hours build up across the degree

Every course carries a Theory–Lab–Clinical credit split. Hands-on training starts from day one and scales up sharply once you reach hospital-based adult health nursing.

Semester 1–2 — Skills lab

Fundamentals of Nursing I & II build core hands-on skills in GMI’s simulation lab before any hospital exposure.

Semester 3 — Hospital rotations begin

Adult Health Nursing I (8 credit hours: 4 theory, 4 clinical) marks the shift into supervised hospital-based clinical rotations at Bahria International Hospital.

Semester 4–8 — Specialised & intensive clinical

Clinical hours scale up through Adult Health Nursing II, Pediatric, Mental Health, Critical Care, and Community Health Nursing, culminating in a dedicated Clinical Practicum in Semester 8.
