An Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery is a discipline/course/field in nursing that acts as the entry point for anyone who aspires to pursue a career as a nurse in India. Candidates who pursue an ANM course India open up their opportunities to not only pursue a career in the field of nursing but also enhance their skill and knowledge of their profession. ANMs are regarded as the grass-roots workers in the health organisation pyramid.
The ANM course is practically a diploma programme, which allows non-science stream students to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner. This is perfect for those who have the urge for making a difference in society, serve the needy, while also contributing to a bigger picture of society, but were unable to enter the profession due to their academic background.
