Semester VII
- Community Health Nursing II: Covers the community-level primary care and referral pathways for various system-based ailments (Gastrointestinal, Respiratory, Urinary, and Cardiac) alongside first aid emergency management. It emphasizes maternal, newborn, and adolescent care (including RMNCH+A, family planning, and MTP acts) while addressing foundational concepts in health data surveillance (HMIS), occupational hazards, geriatric health, national mental health programs, leadership protocols, disaster management, and biomedical waste regulations.
- Nursing Research and Statistics: Introduces the framework of the scientific method and evidence-based practice (EBP). It details the construction of problem statements, data collection methodologies, sampling techniques, research ethics, and basic statistical analysis—spanning central tendency measurements, correlation, and tests of significance—concluding with research report compilation and utilization.
- Midwifery/Obstetrics and Gynaecology Nursing II: The Norcet Exam Syllabus 2026 portrayed extensively in the referenced curriculum images (WhatsApp Image 2026-06-11 at 2.59.12 PM.jpeg, WhatsApp Image 2026-06-11 at 2.59.12 PM (1).jpeg, and WhatsApp Image 2026-06-11 at 2.59.12 PM (2).jpeg), this segment handles surgical labor interventions, postpartum complications (like sepsis and hemorrhage), high-risk newborn care workflows (such as KMC and neonatal resuscitation guidelines), and the clinical management of common gynecological disorders, infertility, and reproductive tract tumors.
