Dramatic changes in the health care environment are impacting professional nursing practice in a variety of settings and providing new opportunities for expanding the role and function of the nurse. Professional nurses will need to balance clinical outcomes, functional outcomes, quality of care, patient satisfaction and financial outcomes in traditional and non-traditional settings, as they redefine roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for rendering quality patient care. While the primary role of a nurse will continue to be the delivery of direct patient care, increasing emphasis must be placed on coordination and facilitation of care through personal and professional development.
We strongly believe that the nursing students are responsible and accountable for quality nursing practice thus they need to be appropriately trained, oriented and directly supervised by qualified and experienced faculty.
The facility of CCTV is available for demonstration of live operative procedures for students. The students can interact and get their queries answered by discussion with operating surgeon.
The Hospital has well equipped critical care areas like the ICU, CCU, NICU and PICU facilities. There is a separate Dialysis unit offering treatment to patients at a very low cost. The Department of Radio diagnosis offers modern diagnostic facilities like CT scan, MRI, Mammography, Colour Doppler, Ultra-sonography etc.
Other facilities available in the hospital are central laundry unit, CSSD, Vermiculture plant, Eye bank, ambulances, canteen and drug Store in subsidized rates.
The staff of this college supports health care reform efforts to improve quality and access to care to maximize nursing expertise through critically evaluating the elements of nursing care and eliminate those that are inefficient, are not integral to improve patient care delivery, patient satisfaction, and optimal outcomes for safe, accountable and responsible practice. We give strong emphasize on recognition that nursing practice is undertaken to meet the needs of patients, continual striving for knowledge and skills that provide safe and competent care delivery, recognition that expansion of role must maintain continuity and safety of patient care, recognition of the accountability of other healthcare workers involved in the care and treatment of patients, ability to delegate and communicate appropriately.
We say it with a sense of pride that Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) is probably only University in India having institution of several faculties together on one campus. The University thus provides a wide range of educational opportunities to the students to enhance their career. We are trying our best to give the best possible educational training for our students with a view to equip them to develop basic skills in teaching, management and research in nursing settings.
