After finishing their studies at ANM programs students will find different positions throughout healthcare facilities. The job roles for ANM graduates consist of serving as staff nurses who help doctors and senior nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and clinics. Several healthcare organizations including community health centers and rural healthcare programs as well as NGOs hire ANMs to deliver maternal and child healthcare services and administer vaccinations and basic medical aid. The healthcare services providing home care engage ANMs for medical treatment of elderly patients and those with disabilities. Maternity centers along with government hospitals and private nursing homes present ready job possibilities for qualified personnel.
Public health departments together with primary health centers (PHCs) and Anganwadi programs offer government employment opportunities to nurses. Many ANMs take positions within maternal health programs to execute family planning strategies and conduct immunization efforts and manage child healthcare activities. Aspiring career growth for ANMs requires enrollment into the GNM program (General Nursing and Midwifery) and B.Sc. Nursing studies. Nurses who seek international work opportunities will find suitable positions in countries that lack sufficient nursing staff. The increasing requirements in healthcare enable ANMs to be instrumental in improving medical service delivery throughout rural and semi-urban areas.
