GNM
GNM is a diploma course in nursing that focuses on the care of individuals, families, and communities. It prepares students to work as general nurses and midwives in clinical and community settings. Originally more common than BSc Nursing, GNM has been phased out in many states in India as of recent updates (post-2022) in favor of degree-based training, but some institutes still offer it.
