PHILOSOPHY

The Basic B.Sc. Nursing program is a four-year undergraduate course that combines classroom instruction and practical sessions. Our institute provides facilities for students to gain clinical experience under the guidance of faculty members in various clinical and community settings. The Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, Jaipur conducts the university examination annually.

We believe that health and wellness are integral aspects of our program, encompassing physical, psychological, social, economic, and spiritual dimensions. We advocate for individuals' rights to actively participate in achieving their own health goals. Our nursing practice acknowledges and respects the diversity within society, providing ethical care with dignity and the protection of rights.

Nursing is a profession that draws knowledge from various disciplines, including arts, sciences, humanities, and human experience. We emphasize clinical competence, critical thinking, communication, teaching, professionalism, caring, and cultural competency. Nurses collaborate with other healthcare disciplines to address individual and community health issues. We promote evidence-based practice and lifelong learning.

Our nursing program prepares graduates to provide comprehensive care across the lifespan in diverse healthcare settings. We focus on the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes, competencies, and skills outlined by the Council's standards. Graduates have various opportunities in practice, education, management, and research.

Our curriculum fosters critical thinking skills, competencies aligned with human and professional values, and a blended learning approach. We emphasize mastery learning, self-directed learning, and accountability in elective course selection. Our graduates adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct while fulfilling personal, social, and professional obligations. They play vital roles as care providers, coordinators/managers of care, and supporters of the nursing profession.

Our faculty members serve as role models and create a learning environment that encourages critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning. Through interaction with educators, students develop the necessary competencies to excel within their scope of practice.
