The Full Story
The college since inception has existed as two colleges running nursing and midwifery programmes under two different administrations namely Nurse’s Training College (NTC) and Midwifery Training School (MTS). In 2007, both institutions merged under one administration hence the name Nursing and Midwifery Training College (NMTC)
The nursing programme was started in 11th January, 1955 with a State Registered Nursing (SRN) certificate program which was three year duration. In 1968, a two-year Enrolled Nursing (EN) programme was introduced which ran alongside the SRN. The SRN certificate programme later gave way to a 3-year Comprehensive SRN programme in August 1969. In 1983, the Enrolled Nursing programme was phased out. A Registered General Nursing (RGN) Diploma programme was introduced in 1999 and that is what is currently running.
The Midwifery programme also started in 1957 with a two year and two and a half year duration depending on one’s entry qualification. These continued until the early 1980s when it was replaced with a one year Post Basic programme after completion of SRN. A three year Registered Midwifery (RM) Diploma programme was introduced in 2003. These programmes run concurrently till 2007 when the certificate was phased out. Currently the college is running a 3-year Diploma in Registered General Nursing and Registered Midwifery.
The College also runs a Two-year Post Nurse Assistant Clinician /Nurse Assistant Preventive (NAC/NAP) certificate in Midwifery programme since September, 2016.
