Yes, candidates can pursue an MSc Nursing after completing a GNM course. Many universities and institutions in India offer MSc Nursing courses to candidates who have a GNM qualification, provided they also have a few years of clinical experience, usually two years, as a registered nurse or midwife.
The MSc Nursing programme allows GNM graduates to specialize in areas like medical-surgical nursing, community health nursing, pediatric nursing, psychiatric nursing, and more. MSc Nursing can open up opportunities for leadership roles, teaching positions, and specialised clinical practice.

No, an MSc Nursing is not the most direct qualification for opening a medical store or pharmacy. Opening and running a medical store typically involves a good understanding of pharmaceuticals, drug regulations, and business management.
If someone is interested in owning and operating a medical store, they may consider pursuing education or training in Pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences.
A degree in pharmacy, such as a BPharm or DPharm is more directly related to the field of managing and dispensing medications, which is essential for operating a pharmacy or medical store.

No it is not needed strictly for admission to MSc Nursing.
NEET is usually only for UG medical and dental admissions in India.
Admission to MSc Nursing is entirely based on exams like KEAM, JEMScN, JEPAS PG, CUET PG, NEET PG, etc.
Hope this helped your query! All the best!

No, an MSc in Nursing is not equivalent to a doctoral degree. The MSc in Nursing is a master's level degree, which is a postgraduate qualification. It typically follows the completion of a BSc in Nursing or an equivalent qualification.
On the other hand, MBBS is an undergraduate degree awarded to individuals who have completed the required medical education and training to become medical doctors. MBBS holders are medical doctors who have undergone comprehensive training in medical sciences, clinical practice, and patient care.
