Health is a state of well-being that enables a person to lead a psychologically, socially and

economically productive life. Health is a right of all the people. Individuals, Families and

communities have responsibility towards maintaining their health.

The nursing profession is a noble one. It is not only taking care of the patient as an individual,

but as a member of the family and society. The humanitarian aspects of the patient such as his

hopes, aspirations, worries, anxieties, apprehensions and tensions due to disease process are

also to be looked into with great patience which plays a vital role for the amelioration of the

condition of the patient. To become a good nurse all these qualities are to be developed during

system. It recognizes national health goals and is committed to participate in the

implementation of National Health policies and programmes. It aims at identifying health

needs of the people, planning and providing quality care in collaboration with other health

professionals and community groups.

rehabilitative aspects of care to people across their life span in wide variety of health care

settings. Practice of nursing is based upon application of basic concepts and principles derived

from the physical, biological, and behavioural sciences, medicine and nursing.

Nursing is based on values of caring and aims to help individuals to attain independence in self

care. It necessitates development of compassion and understanding of human behaviour among
