Nursing Foundation
Overview
The Department of Nursing Foundation is considered as one of the basic and most important part of every college and school of Nursing. The spirit of Nursing is sown in the young hearts by the Nursing Foundation department.
The Origin of the department of Nursing Foundation dates back to the prime year 1959 when the Father Muller School of Nursing was founded as a response to the felt need of professionally trained nursing personnel.
The College of Nursing came into existence in the year 1987. The faculty is convinced that nursing is the art, science and discipline of caring for people through the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health and wholeness across the life span. The essence of nursing involves communication, critical thinking decision making and problem solving, collaboration, caring, education, advocacy, ethical behaviour and a commitment to life-long learning. We the faculty contribute collaboratively and independently to quality patient care and education.
