ANM

You can pursue a BSc in Nursing or GNM, after you complete your ANM course. But, you'll need to fulfill the eligibility criteria set by the colleges to get admission to these programs. For instance, Class 12 with the Science (PCB) stream, if you want to pursue a BSc Nursing course. All the best!

As an ANM student, you'll learn all the basic Nursing skills to help you assist patients and doctors in times of need. You'll learn about first aid, like wound care, bandaging, taking care of minor injuries, etc.

Maternal Health skills include pre- and post-pregnancy care for mothers and children, like you'll be assisting with deliveries and postnatal care.

And finally, Community Health means you'll be taking care of underserved communities, like raising healthcare awareness among them, assisting in vaccination camps, etc.

Colleges that offer ANM in Rajasthan are Bhagvant University, Raghukul College of Nursing, Jaiswal Nursing College, Sangam University and many government colleges located in 34 districts of Rajasthan such as Hanumangarh, Ajmer, Bikaner, etc.

The General Nursing course is different from the ANM in terms of its job scope and study area. GNM will teach you about all the services required in a healthcare facility, like vital monitoring, assistance in medical procedures, medicine administration, documentation, etc. But, in an ANM course, you'll specifically learn about maternal & child health and community health. ANMs also work in rural areas as Social Workers, raising awareness among underserved communities.
