A few words from our Alumni…
have completed both my graduation as well as post-
graduation from the very prestigious Amrita College Of
Nursing. To my fortune, I could work there as Lecturer in
Department of Medical Surgical Nursing for three years. Life
there moulded me to work with compassion and dedication. The
cultural and spiritual values imbibed from the college influenced
my attitude, which later strengthened me to tackle my career
goals”.
ollege days!! Nostalgia they call it…well, I call it life ,where
we had fun and together we made memories that could
never fade….The skills we acquired from our teachers, the
experience we gained from our college and knowledge we
shared between us…gave us hopes and strength to travel this
far. Those are the days that remain in memory scrap book that
can never be replaced. Those are the days that never DIE!!!”
fter my bachelors I came directly to United States and did
my masters here. The education which I received from ACN
really helped me to build my professional career. The value
based education was really helpful in teaching the importance of
human values and compassion. Moreover, the experience I got
from this college is comparable to any international standards.”
