College of Nursing

Wanless Hosptial, Miraj Medical Centre

General Statement     

Programmes of the College of Nursing are designed to prepare Nurses not only to be skilled in bedside care but also to understand the principles of health and prevention of disease, and to use these principles to bring health into the lives of those to whom they minister.

Students will have experience in the development of health teaching in the outpatient department and wards of a hospital, maternal and child health clinics, home visiting both rural and urban areas and domiciliary Midwifery in both rural and urban areas.

Rural experience is of exceptional value due to the fact that a large proportion of our population lives in villages.  The development of this aspect of nursing education is of special importance at this time when many plans for rural welfare are being developed in our country.  This experience will be valuable in becoming familiar with and adjusting to the home conditions and learning the background of the patient.  The doctor makes the diagnosis and prescribes treatment, but the total care of the patient is left to the Nurse.

Care must be comprehensive.  We recognize that mental and environmental factors play an important part in health.  Therefore along with the custodial and technical care required by the patients the nurse is expected to assume a supporting and counseling role, helping the patient to understand the day to day problems affecting his health and to cope with them and working with the patient and his family for the patient's adequate rehabilitation.

Professional nursing is viewed as a unique health service which aims to provide care to individuals, families and groups in a variety of environmental settings.  The nurse uses the nursing process to identify actual and anticipated health problems.  Once these are identified the nurse assists persons to cope with actual or potential threats to their well-being and with the inevitable outcome of illness.
