SUBMITTED TO SUBMITTED BY
Keeping this in mind ,the Indian Nursing Council believes that the basic course
in nursing is a formal educational preparation ,which should be based on
sound education principles.The council recognizes that programme as the
foundation on which the practice of nursing is built and on which depends
further professional education.It also recognizes its responsibility to the society
as individual nurses and citizens.
The council believes that a basic course in Nursing should prepare nurses for
first level positions in Nursing both in the hospital and the community.
To achieve this the council is of the opinion that a good standard of basic
scientific principles ,principles of communication,and learning are essential,as
Nursing is believed to be a profession influenced by scientific and technological
advances.

hospital and services rendered.More staff than anticipated will be required.
2.Special attention is needed for supervision of patient care in the evening and

CL,24 days off in a yr.It has also been observed that on any working day 25% of
the staff is off duty on casual leave,ets.as stated earlier a nurse works for days
in a yr.whereas hospital requires
nursing services for 365 days and for 24 hours,which means that 1 nurse will
