Highlights Nursing training was started in 1889 by the Greenfield Sisters. The Nursing School became well – known for the nursing care it provided and for its services to needy patients. The General Nursing Program began in 1936. The School of Nursing was upgraded to College of Nursing in 1973 with 18 students admitted to the B.Sc Nursing course. The M.Sc Nursing program started in 1987 with two specialties (Psychiatric nursing & Maternal and Child Health Nursing). At present five M.Sc Nursing course specialties are available (Community Health Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Obstetric Nursing, Medical & Surgical Nursing and Psychiatric Nursing). Each year 60 students are admitted to the B.Sc Nursing course. Since the Nursing standard is maintained at a high level, the results of our examinations have always been excellent. In response to changing society the nursing practice has changed from mere apprenticeship to a professional education and to foster nursing as a professional career, attractive and desirable to young people on an equal basis with any other career.
