About Rastogi College of Nursing
Clinical rotations at the 100-bed parent Rastogi Hospital shape the daily routine here, keeping training tied to actual patient care from the second year onward. Students divide their hours between the maternal-child health lab on campus and rural health postings in villages surrounding Rajnandgaon district. This hands-on rotation structure means you spend less time in lecture halls and more time managing real clinical charts under the supervision of registered sister tutors.
