Why Nursing Course?
Srinivas Institute of Nursing Sciences takes pride in preparing graduates to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. This preparation is particularly valuable to nurses. With rapid changes in health care, nurses need a variety of skills to care for individuals, families, groups, and communities. Since our society is very dynamic, nurses must also work in diverse settings. Current worldwide changes in health care delivery provide a variety of employment opportunities for SIONS nursing graduates. Due to expanding roles and increasing professional responsibilities, baccalaureate nurses / B.Sc. (N) are commanding higher salaries compared with other professions. We have a nursing care shortage of a magnitude unseen in decades. It is affecting all health care settings - hospitals, nursing homes, home health and outpatient facilities. An estimated 126,000 registered nurses are needed to fill current full time vacancies in just the hospital and nursing home sectors alone! By 2020, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (USA) estimates 400,000 nurses will be needed to meet the demand in all health care facilities. Risks to national health from the nursing shortage are highly acute because nursing is not only the nation's largest health profession but also comprises the largest percentage of hospital labor force and is the primary provider of long term care.
In this view, after completion of the nursing course one can work as clinical specialist, advanced practitioners, educationist, administrators, consultants, and research assistants in the Country and abroad.
