"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." -Mahatma Gandhi

Medical science is a field where new techniques emerge every day. Treatments exist now for many diseases that were untreatable just a couple of decades ago. This advancement has created significant employment opportunities. Doctors aren't the only professionals in medicine; many others work as vital assistants. This type of work falls under the paramedical profession, with nurses being the most important people in this field.

Nursing is one of the most salubrious professions in the world. There is no area of medicine where nurses aren't needed. If you have a desire to serve, you can build a rewarding career here.

Available Courses in Nursing

There are many types of courses in nursing: diploma, undergraduate, and certificate programs. Post-graduation can be pursued after B.Sc. in Nursing, allowing for specialization in fields like dietetics, cardiology, pediatrics, and ophthalmology. After a postgraduate degree, there are also facilities for M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs.

Most top institutions admit students based on entrance exams. Some of the popular and important nursing courses are as follows.

ANM (Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery) To get admission, a student must have passed 10+2 in the Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This 18-month course is regarded as the basic foundation in nursing.

GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) Candidates must have passed 12th standard with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, securing at least 40 percent marks. This course lasts three and a half years.
