Philosophy of
M.Sc
Nursing
Course:
National Health Policy (NHP)
2002 emphasizes the need to prepare nurses to function in
super-speciality areas who are required in tertiary care
institutions, entrusting some limited public health functions
to nurses after providing adequate training, and increase the
ratio of degree holding vis a vis diploma holding nurses.
It is observed that there is an acute shortage of nursing
faculty in under graduate and post graduate nursing programme
in India.
::
Indian Nursing Council believes that:
Post Graduate programme is
essential to prepare nurses to improve the quality of nursing
education and practice in India.
Post graduate programme in nursing builds upon and extends
competence acquired at the graduate levels, emphasizes
application of relevant theories into nursing practice,
education, administration and development of research skills.
The programme prepares nurses for leadership position in
nursing and health fields who can function as nurse
specialists, consultants, educators, administrators and
researchers in a wide variety of professional settings in
meeting the National priorities and the changing needs of the
society.
This programme provides the basis for the post masteral
programme in nursing. Further the programme encourages
accountability and commitment to life long learning which
fosters improvement of quality care. |
