Established in March 1995 as “The Private Nursing School,” Healthnicon was among the pioneers of private nursing education in South Africa, accredited by the South African Nursing Council (SANC). Since then, it has grown to include the Healthnicon Vaal Campus and the Healthnicon Western Cape Campus.
Over the years, Healthnicon has ascended to prominence as a premier private nursing education institution.
