It gives me great pleasure to reach out to you through this web site on behalf of St. Augustine`s School of Nursing. Remarkable changes in the health care environment have its profound impact on professional nursing practice in a variety of settings and providing new opportunities for expanding the role and function of a nurse. Professional nurses will need to balance clinical outcomes, functional outcomes, quality of care, patient satisfaction and financial outcomes and nursing administration in traditional and non-traditional settings, as they redefine roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for rendering quality patient care. While the primary role of a nurse will continue to be the delivery of direct in patient care, increasing emphasis must be placed on coordination and facilitation of care through personal and professional development.
Our focus is on overall development of an individual geared towards addressing not only the ongoing health challenges but emerging existing health issues of the 21st century too. We offer you an opportunity to make most of your time in learning and building competence in the art of Nursing.
We strongly believe that the nursing students are responsible and accountable for quality nursing practice. Hence the need of appropriately trained, oriented and directly supervised by qualified and experienced faculty.As per the present and existing scenario, the staff of this School supports health care reform efforts to improve quality and to maximize nursing expertise through critically evaluating the elements of nursing care and eliminating that are inefficient and are not integral to improve patient care delivery, patient satisfaction, and optimal outcomes for safe, accountable and responsible practice. We give strong emphasize on the fact that nursing practice is undertaken to meet the needs of patients, continual striving for knowledge and skills that provide safe and skilled care delivery and recognition that expansion of role must maintain continuity and safety of patient care, recognition of the accountability of other healthcare workers involved in the care and treatment of patients, which also indicate ability to delegate and communicate appropriately.
I congratulate your decision to opt for St. Augustine school of Nursing, to pursue your dreams in making nursing a personalized professional career.
