What is ANM — Auxiliary Nurse & Midwifery?
The ANM (Auxiliary Nurse & Midwifery) is a 2-year government-recognized nursing diploma program designed to train students in the fundamentals of nursing, primary healthcare, maternal and child health, community health services, and patient care. It is one of the most popular entry-level nursing programs in India, offering a strong foundation for a rewarding career in the healthcare sector.
At Practical Nursing Institute (PNI), Thane, the ANM program is delivered with a strong emphasis on practical training, hospital-based clinical exposure, and real-world patient care skills. Students are trained by experienced faculty and undergo hands-on training at our partner hospitals across Thane and Mumbai.
The ANM course is ideal for students who have completed their 10th or 12th standard and wish to build a career in nursing, community health, maternal care, or government health services. Graduates of this program are eligible to work as Auxiliary Nurses, Community Health Workers, Midwives, and Primary Healthcare Assistants in government and private healthcare settings.
With India's growing demand for trained nursing professionals and the global shortage of healthcare workers, an ANM qualification opens doors to employment opportunities in hospitals, nursing homes, community health centers, government health programs, and international healthcare roles.
