Hello,

That’s a smart plan! As a BSc Nursing 1st-year student, you can start short online courses to boost placements by 3rd year.

Here are some useful ones:

• Basic Life Support (BLS) / First Aid – Red Cross, Coursera, Medvarsity

• Medical Coding & Hospital Management – Medvarsity, IGNOU

• Infection Control & Public Health – WHO, Coursera (Johns Hopkins)

• Clinical Research & Pharmacovigilance – Medvarsity, Coursera

• Soft Skills & Communication – NPTEL, edX

Take 2–3 short certificates each year, they’ll help you get better job offers and hospital placements later.

I have attached the link regarding same.
