Sushruta School of Nursing is established as a unit of the Bangalore Hospital, which has been promoted, by Sushruta Medical Aid and Research Hospital Limited, a Public Limited Company.

As the Bangalore Hospital is having required infrastructure and well qualified and well known consultants and in order to impart quality nursing education and training and also to meet the hospital’s requirement of nurses and to provide quality nurses to the needy public, the hospital proposed the School of Nursing for providing education under the curriculum of Diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery. Accordingly application was made in No.SMARH/945/2003 dated 15.9.2003 to the Registrar, Karnataka State Nursing Council, Bangalore for granting permission to start School of Nursing for offering Diploma in Nursing and Midwifery.

The Karnataka State Nursing Council in their official Memorandum No.KMC/1528/03/15.10.2003 constituted an Inspection Committee in order to evaluate the availability of clinical facilities and to study the feasibility to start Nursing School. The facilities were inspected by the said Committee and after due inspection the Government of Karnataka in their Order No.AAKUKA /375/ MME /2003, Bangalore, dated 19.12.2003, sanctioned a School of Nursing for running Diploma course with an intake of sixty students commencing from 2003-3004.
