The formal course inauguration of the 65th batch
of GNM,35th batch of PB BSc, and 31st batch of MSc
nursing was held at Decennial Hall, Knowledge center on 31stOctober2022
at 3 pm.The entire ceremony was witnessed by their parents, along with dignitaries,
staff, and students.
Ms. Shirley P Dsouza,Coordinator PBBSc nursing program,delivered
a welcome address and introduced the Chief guest, Dr. Kishore Kumar,DHO,DK.This
was followed by the lighting of the lamp by the dignitaries and Students.
Dr Kishorehighlighted the nobility of the nursing profession.
The compassionate support and care provided by the nursing services alleviates
the person from tremendous pain. The Doctor though treats the physical ailment,
the nursing services treat the tiring mental stress of the patients and
bystanders by their talk and deeds. Peoples expectations are very high today,
where the healthcare profession only wins if the treatment goes well. If the
treatment is unsatisfactory or leads to death, a case of medical negligence is
put forth. None in the medical fraternity of the healthcare team would
apparently indulge in harming the patient. Thus the need for all in the
healthcare to be compassionate and provide care in accordance with scientific
rigour and humanness is the need of the hour.
Rev. Fr Richard Aloysius Coelho, the Director,FMCI,in his
presidential address firstly welcomed the students into the institutions fold
saying that the portals of nursing education though not new for the PBBSC and
the MSc nurses remains new for the GNM students. Students need to inculcate the
good ethos and compassion. The nursing profession is the reminder of the
devotion of the human suffering through care and comfort. Every patient is considered
vulnerable, and dealing with vulnerable requires a lot of patience and care.
There is nothing instant in healthcare. Focus and commitment are the tools each
of the student should carry. Though careers in nursing are aplenty, the
aptitude and knowledge is diminishing. A nurse who carries the scientific
rigour and professional acumen with a human touch is valued and adored. Always
try putting yourself in the others shoe and understand why they mean it or what
they go through.
Ms.NathaliaMartis,the GNM class coordinator, proposed the
vote of thanks.Principal, Rev Sr. Jacintha Dsouza,interacted with students and
