B.Sc. in Nursing 

at Vijaya College of Nursing, Nellore

The future of MSc Nursing is promising, driven by the growing demand for advanced healthcare services and specialised nursing roles. As healthcare becomes increasingly complex, the need for highly trained nurses with expertise in areas like critical care, community health, and nursing education is on the rise. 

MSc Nursing graduates are expected to take on leadership positions in clinical settings, contribute to healthcare policy development, and engage in research that advances nursing practice. 

Additionally, the global shortage of healthcare professionals underscores the importance of advanced Nursing education in addressing the critical needs of both developed and developing healthcare systems.

Yes, because a postgraduate degree in Nursing allows a nurse to work in multispeciality hospitals, private or government healthcare units, academic or research institutes, nursing homes, old-age homes, and the armed services. They can become a nursing educator, staff nurse, nurse assistant, or nursing supervisor.

With many new specialisation streams emerging, there is a demand for qualified nurses who can specialise in these new fields and even teach other students. In India and around the world, there is an ongoing lack of skilled nurses. Because of their devotion and compassionate and empathetic character, Indian nurses are always in high demand in other nations.  

Courses offered by Vijaya College of Nursing are M.Sc., B.Sc. (Post Basic), B.Sc., GNM. These courses are in the stream of Science, Nursing. Vijaya College of Nursing offers specializations such as GNM specializations in General Nursing & Midwifery.

Of course, here are some of my personal recommendations, you must read apart from your regular BSc Nursing syllabus:

• Fundamentals of Nursing" by Patricia Potter & Anne Perry.
• Ross and Wilson Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness.
• Clinical Nursing Procedures: The Art of Nursing Practice.
• Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: A Guide to Planning Care.
• RNotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide.
• When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi.
• The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives by Theresa Brown.
• First Year Nurse: Wisdom, Warnings, and What I Wish I'd Known My First 100 Days on the Job.

The highest lucrative nursing position bearer is the Senior Staff Nurse.
They supervises and directs junior staff nurses and nursing students to ensure patients get the best care possible. These nurses will also be in charge of managing nursing care to such patients.
Senior registered nurses are also called upon to liaise with doctors, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists on behalf of the patients. They oversee a team of registered nurses and care assistants to ensure that they work in accordance with standards set for best practice care by the hospital.
