Background

Later, in 1983, BCNR introduced an additional four-year Bachelor of Nursing programme, to be followed by a two-year Bachelor of Nursing (continuing programme) established in 1987.

Since 1994, the Princess Mother's abbreviation name "สว" (Sor Wor) has been adopted as the symbol of the BCNR and those nursing colleges.
