About Saraswathy College of Nursing
You will likely get used to the commute to our parent hospital at Karipinpotta long before you master the pharmacology syllabus. Because our campus sits near the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in Parassala, we routinely learn to communicate clinical care in both Malayalam and Tamil during our practical rounds. It is an intense, hands-on environment where classroom theory takes a back seat to actual ward duties early in the curriculum.
