Vael’s educational
Trust believes in the concept of health as laid down by the world Health organization (WHO) i.e.) “ Health is state of complete physical mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity. Since nurses provided and will undoubtedly continue to provide a large part of health care, their training should equip them with professional expertise to meet the changing demands of society and their expanding role therein. To achieve this, emphasis must be laid to impart the knowledge and skills most relevant to the health care needs of the community and the country as a whole. This must also be accompanied by a corresponding change in professional attitudes. The international council of nurses states that the unique function of the nurse is to assists the individual, sick of well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform un-aided of he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.
