Institutes believes that:
Modern nursing is a dynamic, therapeutic
and educative process in meeting the health needs of the individuals, the
family and the community. It is one of the health professions which
functions in conjunction with other health care agencies in assisting
individual families and communities to achieve and maintain desirable
standards. As propounded by the World Health Organization (WHO), Health is
a state of complete physical mental and social well being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity.
Since nurses provide a large part of
health care, it is imperative that their training should equip them with
professional expertise to meet the changing demands of society and their
expanding role therein. To achieve this goal, Sri Guru Ram Das Institute
of Medical Sciences & Research decided to run Courses in General Nursing&
Midwifery, B.Sc. Nursing & Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing to impart the
knowledge and skills most relevant to the health care needs of the
community and the country as a whole. .
The International Council of Nurses states
that the unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or
well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its
recovery (or to peaceful death) that patient would perform un-aided if he
has the necessary strength, will or knowledge and to do this in such a way
as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible. Indian Nursing
Council recognised that basic nursing education is a formally recognised
programme of study providing a board and sound foundation in the
behavioural, life and nursing sciences for the general practice of nursing
for a leadership role and for the post basic education in specialties for
advanced nursing practice. The faculty at College of
Nursing believes that this basic course in nursing should prepare nurses for
occupying first level positions in nursing in all kinds of health care
settings & recognises that nursing is a profession which is influenced by
advances in science and technology. It believes that skills in all
aspects of communities are also essential for learning and for the
practice of nursing.
It also recognises that the nature of
nursing is such that a substantial portion of learning of the students is
acquired in the clinical field(s) of practice. It further recognises the
inter-dependence of or nursing allied professions and occupations in
promoting, maintaining and restoring health and prevention of diseases.
It believes that it has a responsibility
in helping the students to develop pride in their profession besides
keeping them abreast with current knowledge and professional trends for a
successful career ahead.
The College of
Nursing is approved by the Government of
Punjab, Punjab Nurses Registration
Council, Mohali, Indian Nursing Council
& Baba Farid University
