Before we go any further, Ga-Rankuwa Nursing College is one of the campuses of Gauteng College of Nursing.

The campus also shares a fence with Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU). This area has long been known for training healthcare professionals.
Ga-Rankuwa started offering nursing training in 1972, and by 1985 it was declared an autonomous college. It was affiliated to SMU for academic moderation and quality control of some of the courses. In 2019, it officially became one of the campuses under the Gauteng College of Nursing.
