About Archana College of Nursing
Archana College of Nursing is INC approved. It started amid Pathanamthitta's coconuts with a handful of students, aiming to bridge rural health needs by running night clinics, emergency response drills and community outreach right from its concrete-block labs on the erstwhile rice mill site. No sugarcoating on training. Since then, faculty members trained at District General Hospital Pathanamthitta have added courses like Medical-Surgical Nursing and Psychiatric Nursing labs, shaping an exam-focused schedule while still sending teams out for public health surveys.
