What does staff nursing mean? Does ANM and GNM come under staff nursing?

<p>First and foremost, any person holding a degree or diploma in Nursing, normally a course of at least three years duration, comes under the category of a staff nurse and is known as GNM. In other words, a staff nurse, or GNM, performs certain tasks as instructed by the doctors, like conducting deliveries and assisting in several other medical procedures.<br>ANM, however, though related to nursing, is different. Those who finish the almost-two-year course in ANM are not considered staff nurses because their scope of practice is much different; it largely involves fieldwork.<br>For GNM, the nurses are involved in clinical practice. An ANM does fieldwork or site-based responsibilities. ANMs take charge of immunizations, maintaining health pregnancy records, and registering other health-related records.</p>
