Nursing at Danubius University refers to the Generalist Nurse (Asistent medical generalist) qualification delivered through the Danubius educational network, mainly at Școala Postliceală Sanitară „Pompei Samarian” within Liceul Danubius Călărași and Danubius International College in Galați. It is a 3-year post-secondary professional program that trains nurses for direct patient care across hospitals, clinics and community services, following the national curriculum for health and pedagogical assistance.
The qualification is authorised by ARACIP, Romania’s pre-university quality agency, and designed to be recognised nationally and in the EU labour market through the general nursing framework.
Students choose this pathway as a more applied, practice-oriented route into nursing that does not require a completed Baccalaureate at entry and focuses from the first year on clinical skills, patient communication and evidence-based care.
Over three years they combine classroom modules (anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, nursing fundamentals) with extensive clinical placements in partner hospitals and healthcare units, in line with the national AMG curriculum.
Graduates of Nursing at Danubius University in Galați obtain a Level-5 professional qualification (post-secondary) and can register with the Romanian Order of Nurses and Midwives (OAMGMAMR), a key step toward working as nurses in Romania and, after appropriate recognition procedures, in other EU countries.

The Nursing program at Danubius is structured as a three-year, full-time post-secondary route that alternates theoretical modules with intensive clinical practice, following the national AMG curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education. Each school year typically has 42 weeks, split into two semesters that balance classroom teaching and clinical placements.
During the first two years of Nursing at Danubius University, students build core scientific and professional knowledge: human anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, general pathology, pharmacology, fundamentals of nursing, communication in healthcare, basic psychology, and health education.
Practical training already occupies a large share of the timetable, with supervised clinical practice in medical-surgical wards, internal medicine, and primary care settings. Students learn vital signs monitoring, basic procedures, documentation and patient interaction.
The third year emphasises applied nursing in specialised fields: medical-surgical nursing, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, geriatrics, mental health, community nursing, emergency care, palliative care, quality and patient safety, healthcare management and legislation.
Clinical practice shifts towards more complex responsibilities, including rotations across specialised wards and community services. Under supervision, students consolidate clinical decision-making, prioritisation and team-based care.
At the end of Year 3 of Nursing at Danubius University, students sit a final qualification examination (theoretical and practical), based on the national AMG curriculum and internal regulations. Successful candidates receive a certificate and diploma of professional qualification as Generalist Nurse, accompanied by a transcript and descriptive supplement listing competences. This allows them to apply for registration with OAMGMAMR and to seek employment in Romania or initiate recognition procedures in other EU states.
