Message From the Nursing Superintendent
“Nurses are the Heartbeat of Health Care Service”
- Nursing profession recalls the name of Florence Nightingale and it’s indeed one of the noblest professions in the world. “Nursing” is both mentally and physically challenging profession, as nurses are often exposed to a lot of health risks and infectious diseases; and also demands long tiresome hours of work which integrate both ability and sympathetic understanding of the patient’s needs.
- Nurses comprise the largest vital component of the total health organization and are the primary providers of “patient care”. The Nursing Department of PSG Hospitals comprise of over 900 qualified nurses; keeping the nurse to patient ratio in the critical care sites (1:1) and in the other departments (1:6). Nursing duties are diverse and cover a wide range of functions and responsibilities; so we ensure that nurses are placed in the right area of work depending on the qualification, experience and work environment demands. Nursing is a combination of both science and art; science being the application of knowledge and technical aspects in nursing practices and art being to establish a caring and concerned relationship with the patients in a compassionate way.
- Keeping this in mind the main aim of our department is to prepare the nurses with core knowledge; competence, ability and commitment, thus enabling our nurses to have a better insight to work in a professional and ethical manner.
- Nevertheless a nurse is a divine light that can make other’s lives shine brighter through their noble service. I conclude by stating in very simple words that nursing is a work of both the heart and soul; and that the nurses are the “backbone” of PSG Hospitals.
