Nursing School

Bongolo Nursing School reopened January 14, 2008 after having been closed for nearly one year. Twelve new students completed two weeks of an accelerated orientation course and then began their first year of Nursing School. Monday through Friday mornings they worked on the hospital wards and each afternoon they took various classes.  By the end of the first year of Nursing classes ten students were promoted to their second year of Nursing studies.

The second year for these students is well underway with March 2009 final exam for their first trimester. Their graduation is projected for the Spring of 2010.

Please Pray for the Nursing Students:

  • For good study habits with increasing understanding of their theory classes.
  • For their clinical experiences, that they be varied and helpful to give them opportunities to use what they are learning in class.
  • That the students grow in their love for the Lord and their service to HIM, seeing the hospital as a ministry.
  • For good health for our nursing students and their families. Most of our students are married with children.
