Uphold standards in nursing education: AIIMS nusring principal

MANIPAL: Expressing concern over the commercialization of nursing education thereby compromising the standards, Dr Manju Vatsa, Principal in the College of Nursing, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) emphasized on recruitment of good teachers having adequate clinical competence and constant advances to improve quality care in the country.

She was speaking at the 19 thAnnual day of Manipal College of Nursing (MCON) was held on Monday.

Applauding MCON for its phenomenal growth in the last 23 years, she emphasised the importance of compassion and integrity in teachers and sense of responsibility in the students - guided by ethics. She advised the students aim at excellence and to remain updated with the latest trends to deliver quality care.

Meritorious students of B.sc Nursing, PBBsc. Nursing, Post Basic Diploma nursing, Msc. Nursing, MPhil Nursing and PhD Nursing were awarded. Tenzin Choekyi a Tibetan student who was awarded the TMA Pai gold medal at the recently held convocation for the first rank also bagged most of the awards instituted by MCON.

Vice Chancellor Dr K Ramnarayan drove home the point that success cannot be achieved through a tap on a screen or a click of a mouse. "Students have become techno savvy while relying mainly on online information and following the instant mantra.'' But success cannot be achieved that way as it is an integration of several ingredients, like creativity, innovation, ability to reinvent and tact of thinking globally and acting locally, he observed.

Speaking on behalf of the graduates, the outstanding student of the year, Tenzin Choekyi, recalled how MCON made her inculcate the right values in them and brought the change from within making her feel that it was the best decision of her life.
