- About the School
Six decades of clinical excellence, one teaching philosophy.
Dr.Govindans School of Nursing was established in 2011 and is recognized by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) and affiliated with the Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council (KNMC). Since its inception, the school has been committed to preparing competent, compassionate, and ethically responsible nursing professionals through high-quality education and extensive clinical exposure.
Our programme is built on one conviction: a nurse who understands disease at the cellular and systemic level will always be a nurse who can be trusted with lives. This pathophysiology-first approach is what sets our graduates apart from day one of their careers.
