Ursala Nursing College

Ursala Nursing College is found on Mall Road in Kanpur, specifically in the area known as Dhaka Purwa. Being on Mall Road means we are right in one of the busiest parts of the city. You can hear the constant honking of cars and the general roar of Kanpur traffic from the classrooms. The building is an older structure, located near Cooperganj and Dhakna Purwa. It has high ceilings and wide hallways that stay a bit cooler than the street outside when the sun is beating down. We have many students coming in from all over the district to stay and study. You often see them walking around in their white uniforms, which stand out against the dusty streets of the neighborhood. The labs and the study rooms are filled with old wooden furniture and various medical charts that have been there for years. It is a very busy environment because nursing is a hands-on thing, so there is always someone practicing a procedure or reading through a thick textbook. The area around the college is quite cramped with small shops and tea stalls where the students go during their breaks. It is not a quiet campus like you might find in the countryside; it is right in the thick of the city life. We just keep things moving, focusing on the daily lessons and making sure the students are getting their work done despite the noise outside.
