Who We Are

A college built by nurses, for the nurses of tomorrow.

ABC College of Nursing Sciences was founded in 2003 by a small trust of practising nurses and educators who believed that nursing deserved a college of its own — one that took bedside care as seriously as it took the lecture hall.

Today, our 5,000+ alumni work across India, the Gulf, the United Kingdom and North America. They are staff nurses, midwives, critical-care specialists, nurse educators and public-health officers — each carrying a ABC education into the rooms where it matters most.

A Word from the Principal
“The lamp you receive at ABC is not decoration. It is a promise — to the patient you have not yet met, that you will arrive prepared, present and kind.”

When we admitted our first GNM batch of thirty students in 2003, we made a quiet promise to ourselves: that ABC would never be a college that teaches nursing only from a slide deck. Twenty-two years on, with 5,000 alumni and a high-fidelity simulation block, that promise still holds.

If you are considering nursing as a life — not just a job — I would be honoured to welcome you to our campus.

The ABC Code

I

Compassion First

Every skill we teach is anchored in the dignity of the person being cared for. Technique without kindness is not ABC nursing.

II

Clinical Rigour

We hold ourselves to evidence. Every decision a ABC graduate makes must stand on a defensible clinical reason.

III

Service to Underserved

Our adopted rural PHCs are not optional postings; they are where our students learn that health is a right, not a privilege.

IV

Lifelong Learning

A nurse who stops learning is a nurse who stops being safe. We expect our alumni to keep reading, questioning and certifying.

Clinical Training

We do not teach nursing from a textbook.

A nurse who has only read about a code blue is not ready for a code blue. From the first year, ABC students are in the simulation lab and at the bedside — observed, mentored, and held to a clinical competency checklist before they progress.

1,920 supervised clinical hours

Every B.Sc. graduate completes nearly 2,000 hours of bedside practice under a registered nurse preceptor before they sit their final exam.

24 partner teaching hospitals

A 1,200-bed tertiary care centre, a dedicated maternity and child hospital, a psychiatric institute and rural PHCs across Kolar.

High-fidelity simulation, first year

Two SimMom birthing manikins, SimNewG and SimMan reproduce over 200 scenarios — from eclampsia to cardiac arrest — for safe, repeatable practice.

Rural community postings

Our adopted PHCs in Kolar are where students learn that health is a right, not a privilege. Every cohort conducts a community diagnosis.

01 / 04
ABC did not just teach me nursing — it taught me to think like a nurse. The simulation drills in my third year prepared me for a code blue in my very first week of work.
