President's Message

“I slept and I dreamed that

life is all joy.

I woke and I saw that life is

all service.

I served and I saw that

service is joy.”

– Kahlil Gibran

I t is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to Sri Venkateshwara College of Nursing.

Nursing profession has come a long way. It has been and it will be the nucleus of our health system and the first link of healthcare delivery. A dedicated nurse sets the healing process in motion from the first meeting with the patient and his/her family. A nurse's compassion negates apprehension in the mind of the patient and his/her family, and gives a great deal of relief and reassurance. Nursing has evolved over the years. This profession has served the ill and inept in public, private and natural disasters and on war fields with great deal of empathy.

Taking this profession a step further is a new trend in the USA. Most nurses are now well-trained nursing practitioners who are fully independent and are qualified to provide primary care. They are also trained to attend special care in psychiatry and other areas of health care delivery. I am sure the same trend will soon be a practice in other countries including India.

We, at SVCN, provide quality nursing education to prepare students for a successful nursing career. We ensure our students are enlisted to meet any challenges in the profession with confidence. The goals will be achieved without shortcuts and compromises in quality of education, providing overall development of the individual. Our students are mentored with the aim of meeting global needs. As a medical practitioner in the West, I am confident of moulding them with the appropriate attitude and patience required to take care of the needy ones in the healthcare sector.

Thank you.

Dr. G. NarayanMD (USA)Psychiatrist, Moline, Ilinois, USA

Director's Message

happening worldwide. Communication is the backbone of both delegation and monitoring. Keeping in view the criticality of communication, we are intensifying the English Language learning & usage program. Self- accountability and self- discipline is as fundamental as breathing is for survival.

Through value oriented education, we train students to acquire an overall personality. Personal effectiveness is given prime importance. Our hospital internship from the very beginning gives our students a deep understanding of workplace issues.

The new era emphasizes on the application of technology, cost-effective strategies and decisions. By the time we try and adapt one level of technology, it would have been upgraded and we feel we are back to square one. Hence, we are adapting the methodology of education that only select institutions have experimented with and implemented. We are imparting knowledge through practical exposure to live situations in all faculties.

Our world continues to shrink with the rapid technological, communication and transportation advances. So it has become increasingly essential that all of us have a much better grasp and understanding of successful strategies and techniques. An open-mindset and adaptability is needed to be successful in our conduct with the global community.

Our aim is to remove mental blocks in youngsters, which are entrenched due to faulty education system. We are excited about our role in shaping India's future and do hope you are equally excited about being a part of SVCN.
