Philosophy

Vagdevi College of Nursing always believes in scientific knowledge and principles. Our philosophy is the same as Mahatma Gandhi’s; “Education is a powerful weapon to change the world”.

The management and the faculty believe that:

• Health is a state of well-being that enables a person to lead a physically, psychologically, socially, and economically productive life.
• Nursing contributes to the health care delivery system by identifying the needs of the people, planning, and providing quality care in collaboration with other health professionals.
• Scope of Nursing practice encompasses the provision of pro-motive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative aspects of care to people across their life span in a wide variety of health care settings.
• Nursing is based on values of caring like dignity and respect and aims to help individuals to attain independence in self-care.
• Undergraduate Nursing program is directed to the development of critical thinking and problem solving and also fosters lifelong learning.
