Abstract

Bafokeng Nursing College is a privately owned institution situated at the Impala Mines in Bophuthatswana. It selects and trains student nurses from all parts of Southern Africa in the comprehensive four-year course who at qualifying are free to work for Genmin or anywhere else in the country. The College is affiliated to Medunsa in offering the four-year comprehensive course. Selection is limited because of limited facilities.
The old selection process was evaluated in 1985 and the new selection process started functioning in 1986 when the new course was offered for the first time at the College.
With the new selection process, the drop-out rate is very low, the pass rate has improved and the quality of nursing care is improving.
