The success of patient care and the reputation of an institute depend upon the efficiency of care

being provided by the nursing personnel. We should serve not only with love, but also with hu-

mility. When troubles knock at the door of your life, lift it up with your tears of faith and hope.

Open your eyes and your mind to see the different roles of a nurse and give holistic care to pa-

tients and their families independently and through collaboration with other health care profes-

sionals. You are the next generation of nursing excellence.

The examinations are near for the GNM students. Your mind and body may be tired of your

hard work but do continue to pursue and put on your best efforts. Always remember that the quality of nurs-

ing care provided by a nurse depends on her scientific knowledge and skills.

All the very best for the upcoming examination of GNM students and best wishes for the results of B.Sc.

(Hons.) Nursing students.

Wish you success in the months and years to come.
