Imphal, January 16 2014 :
Lamp lighting and oath taking ceremony of the 8th batch GNM students of Shija Academy of Nursing (SAN) was held today at Shija Hospitals, Langol.
Imphal West CMO Dr S Bimola Kumari, Manipur Nursing Council Registrar Kh Ratna Devi and Shija Hospital and Research Institute Managing Director Dr Kh Palin graced the ceremony as chief guest, guest of honour and president respectively.
Speaking at the occasion, Dr Bimola Kumari said that nurses were earlier confined to only hospitals but this not the case any more.
Duties of nurses are varied and many and what is crucial to be a qualified nurse is pleasing personality.
Dr Palin advised emerging nurses to acquire soft skills and take responsibilities bestowed upon them.
He further exhorted the young students to look up to Florence Nightingale and emulate her characters.
Later awards were distributed to the toppers of the 8th batch.
