Bsc-Nursing . As a proffesion and its scope

It depends on the thinking of person that differs, I think it is as a reputed job. There are two types of nurse in a hospital one is technical and the other is non technical, duties of non technical nurse are:
1. Maintain the record of patient when he arrived and when discharged.
2. Providing full assistance to the patient and giving him all necessary instructions.
3. Proper observations of patients in every two hours and note down any change and inform that to doctor.
4. Providing all the necessary things to the patients like bed pans, pots etc.
5. Take care of diets of patients and giving medicine in time.
6. Preparation of clean, hygienic and healthy diet for each patient according to his prescription.

Duties of technical nurse:
1. Maintaining the database of medicines and injections.
2. Providing assistance to doctor in dressing of wounds. O2 therapy etc.
3. Maintaining the devices like pulse graph generator.
4. Maintaining the reports.
5. Preparation of various test and helping them, preparing injections etc.

After Bsc. Nursing you can do Msc Nursing and if you want to achieve more and ready to work hard then apply for MBBS, MS or MD.
For working abroad you have to apply for abroad nursing internship in your college placement cell from there you can apply for jobs in foreign countries.

There are mainly three types of courses if you are looking for nursing as a profession.

It is 1) BSc Nursing (4year degree Course)

2) GNM - General Nursing and Midwifery (3year diploma)

3) ANM - Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery

About of the scope of this profession, it is of high as the number of hospitals coning up is also more. And the boom in the Medical Tourism also add to the scope. But the salary package is comparatively low with other profession it is expected to rise in the coming years. The other important factor is that the person has to be updated always as new things come up so fast in this profession.

The main duties of a nurse include:

Helping the patient in his activities.

Assisting the doctor in rounds.

Providing medication to the patient.

Helping the doctors in the procedure.

There are many colleges in Bangalore where entrance is not necessary. But if you are looking for Government fees, then you should definetly required to attend the common entrance exam conducted by the appropriate Government.

Nursing is a very reputed and respected profession. I always consider a nurse as a half doctor. B.Sc. Nursing is a 4 year duration course. In the first 3 years you will mostly dealing with study part of the field but in final year you will be assisting doctors and performing individual duties.
It is a tough profession and requires all your dedication. In defence hospitals, Nurses are also given Ranks of Leutinent, commander etc and a badge which you will feel so proud to wear on your uniform.

If you wish to go abroad, then no worries just pay attention to your training part first and in final year, start applying for reputed hospitals and clinics abroad.

After B.Sc. Nursing, you may go for specialisation in any field of your interest like Neo-natal care, Cardio therapist, Osteo etc.

Hi

Generally B.Sc Nursing would be better after doing GNM. In GNM, the training of the entire duties of a nurse is given as this is directly attached with a hospital. If B.Sc Nursing is done, after became a Nurse would be better in the sense, giving post training for a nurse to do better activities. Also there are special training in B.Sc Nursing. That is, nurse to do hospital administration, counselling, maintenance of computer records of patients. While these are on the adminstration side, professional training in advance is given in specific areas. I just wanted to introduce one special training here. If a nurse is attached to a child health hospital, special training now available is, how the pre-matured baby would be taken care of without the actual incubator but with the mother's heat by keeping child at the mothers stomach. These training were once available in US only, but now it is available now and seems to be a good incubation system for poor who cannot afford to the incubator.
