Fundamental of Nursing

The Fundamentals of nursing Department offer courses at entry level to equip students with knowledge, attitude and skills to work in various practice areas and to develop as professional nurses with firm commitment to lifelong service and learning.

The department incorporates innovative teaching methodologies to support and enhance student learning using SLOT, dance, drama techniques & reflective learning. Presently, as per the INC syllabus we have First aid module & Health assessment module in I semester & II semester respectively to prepare the students in emergencies & to assess the patient in detail when they are sick. It enables them to interact more creatively with course facilitators and it accommodates their different learning styles. It also exposes students to additional information through postings in our own hospital & GH by class coordinators and clinical instructors. Through simulation techniques, the department has made learning more interesting for students.

In simulation, the learning situation is made to resemble clinical practices as closely as possible and this provides students an opportunity to think and act as if they were with real patients and yet it prevents students from causing harm to patients through a trial and error approach. The skills learnt using simulation is safely passed onto actual patient care later on during clinical practice.
