About Us

The S N S COLLEGE OF NURSING, an off-shoot of Sri Nirvaneswara Charitable Trust, Sri Degula Mutt, Kanakapura, is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore, and recognized by Indian Nursing Council. College was established in 2008. It subscribes to the philosophy of providing professional education at the university level. The faculty supports the principles that the purpose of education is harmonious and all-round development of individuals, which is brought about by meaningful experiences coordinated from classroom to the clinical field level, within a climate of mutual respect and understanding.
The faculty views nursing as a profession, which contributes to the health services in a vital and significant way. It recognizes national health goals and is committed to participating in the implementation of National Health Policies and Programmes. It believes in identifying the health needs of the people, planning and providing quality healthcare in collaboration with other health professionals and community groups. The scope of nursing includes the prevention of diseases, promotion of health in individuals, families and community and the care of the sick, injured and infirm in the hospital and/or community. We also view that the concept of comprehensive nursing includes care during wellness, illness and rehabilitation; guiding and teaching the patient and family regarding continued care, recovery and maintenance of health.
The faculty believes that nursing education is based on an understanding of man, derived from the knowledge of humanities, psychological, social, biological and physical sciences. Nursing is based on values of caring and aims to help individuals to attain independence in self-care. It necessitates the development of compassion and understanding of human behaviour among practitioners to provide care with respect, dignity and protect the rights of individuals and groups.
The faculty accepts the fact that undergraduate nursing programme is broad-based education within an academic framework specifically directed to the development of critical thinking skills, competencies & standards required for the practice of professional nursing and midwifery as envisaged in the National Health Policy 2002. The faculty also accepts and appreciates that the teachers have the responsibility to be role models and create a learning environment that enables students to acquire inquisitiveness driven, self-directed learning and fosters an attitude of lifelong learning. The faculty is also responsible for preparing better-qualified nurses to assume the responsibilities of providing holistic patient care at various levels in different healthcare settings. The teachers must also be prepared to improve their knowledge and skills through channels of higher education.
The undergraduate nursing education program will also prepare its graduates to become exemplary citizens by adhering to a code of ethics and professional conduct at all times in fulfilling personal, social and professional obligations, so as to respond to national aspirations.
The faculty further believes that the Master of Nursing Programme built upon a recognized Bachelor’s Curriculum in Nursing (recognized by Indian Nursing Council), prepares nurses for leadership position in nursing and health fields, who can function as specialist nurse practitioners, consultants, educationists, administrators and investigators in a wide variety of professional settings in meeting the national priorities and the changing needs of the society. The programme prepares nursing graduates who are professionally equipped, creative, self-directed and socially motivated to effectively deal with day-to-day problems within the existing constraints and this will act as an agent of social change. Further, the programme encourages accountability and commitment to lifelong learning, which fosters the improvement of quality care.
