About the Department
Krishna Institute of Nursing Sciences (Faculty of Nursing Sciences) From the early Christian period until the beginning of the 19th century nursing as a profession was neither clearly defined nor properly organised. It was Florence Nightingale who changed the public perception and attitude towards nursing with her extraordinary commitment and in the process laid the foundation of nursing as a profession with purpose & direction. Today the nurse with her skills and knowledge plays very important position in the health care organisation. The nursing process approach is used to provide nursing care to patients by which students assess the client problems, formulate the nursing diagnosis, objective plan, implementation of nursing care and evaluating the effectiveness of care provided.
It was Florence Nightingale who changed the public perception and attitude towards nursing with her extraordinary commitment and in the process laid the foundation of nursing as a profession with purpose & direction.
Today the nurse with her skills and knowledge has a very important position in the health care organisation. Hospital nursing has became specialised with distinctive branches of critical care, neonatal and child care, cardiac care, burns, oncology, urology and nurses with special skills in operation theatre etc. However her traditional role as a person who cares for the sick, injured and disabled has assumed greater importance with her even higher aim of promoting health and preventing illness.
