I have studied my BSc Nursing degree from NIMS,its best college in terms of lecturer we had doctors taking classes good use of AV aids things ,it was very hard to manage duties and classes right from First year but I promise the skills I learnt I won't ever forget .... knowledge is power .....those who did any training from this institute can survive any where...not like other colleges even fee structure also government rule and stipend they would give us more over even laboratory deposit they gave back....I seriously love I miss it...offcourse I got job opportunity but I won't to explore more....but after going to corporate,NIMS is the best any person can afford all you need is patience and do get checked up in little severity.If patients come in last stage no one can help.I personally did duty over there in my student period...nice experience.
