I. Philosophy:

We believe that:
Health is a state of well- being that enables a person to lead a psychologically,
socially and economically productive life. Health is a right of all the people. Individuals,
families and communities have a responsibility towards maintaining their health.
Nursing contributes to the health services in a vital and significant way in the health
care delivery system. It recognizes national health goals and is committed to participate in
the implementation of National Health Policies and programmes. It aims at identifying
health needs of the people, planning and providing quality care in collaboration with other
health professional and community groups.
Scope of nursing practice encompasses provision of promotive, preventive, curative
and rehabilitative aspects of care to people across their life span in wide variety of health
care settings. Practice of nursing is based upon application of basic concepts and
principles derived from the physical, biological and behavioural sciences
Nursing is based on values of caring, and aims to help individuals to attain
independence in self-care. It necessitates development of compassion and understanding
of human behaviour among its practitioners to provide care with respect and dignity and
protect the rights of individuals & groups.
