PHILOSOPHY

· We believe in the diffusion of useful professional knowledge in the spirit of service and sacrifice, which Christ practiced in his own life, being of service for the benefit of all persons irrespective of caste, creed, community or nationality.

· Keeping in mind the unique function of nurses as stated by ICN, Frances Newton Hospital believes that the basic course in Nursing is formal educational preparation, which should be based on sound education principles.

· We believe that a basic course in Nursing should prepare nurses for first level positions in Nursing both in hospital and the community.

· To achieve this, a good understanding of basic scientific principles of communication and learning are essential as Nursing is believed to be a professional influenced by scientific and technological advances.

· We believe that a substantial portion of the student’s learning experience should be acquired in the clinical / field areas.

· We recognize Nursing as a practicing professional inter dependent on allied professions and occupations for promoting, restoring and maintaining health and in preventing diseases.

· We believe that an ANM/MPHW (F) is the back-bone of rural health care delivery system.

· Our school of Nursing recognizes the necessity of developing a deep pride in the Nursing professional among students to enable further professional growth.
