About Nursing

The Nursing Faculty focuses on preparing students for the dynamic and compassionate field of healthcare, with an emphasis on providing patient-centered care, health promotion, and disease prevention. Nursing is a respected profession that involves delivering quality care to individuals, families, and communities in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, homes, and community health organizations.

Nursing education equips students with the knowledge and skills to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care for patients. It involves a combination of theoretical coursework and practical training, ensuring that students are well-prepared for clinical practice. The curriculum typically includes subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, and nursing theory, alongside hands-on clinical practice and internships in real healthcare environments.

Nurses are essential members of the healthcare team, working alongside doctors, therapists, and other professionals to deliver holistic care. They are responsible for monitoring patient conditions, administering medications, providing education to patients and families, and supporting healthcare teams in making critical decisions. As healthcare systems evolve, nurses are taking on more advanced roles, including nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, and nurse educators.

With increasing demand for healthcare services globally, the nursing profession continues to grow. It offers a wide range of career opportunities in hospitals, healthcare settings, and research institutions, as well as opportunities to pursue higher education and specialize in areas such as pediatric nursing, geriatric nursing, critical care, and mental health nursing.
