Over the years studies have shown that a more highly educated nursing workforce not only improves patient safety and quality of care but saves lives. Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. It includes the promotion of health, safe environment, prevention of illness, the care of ill, disabled and dying people, encouragement, research, patient & health system management, and education. The health care sector in India including Rajasthan State is having diverse challenges including Communicable diseases and Non-communicable Diseases Maternal and Infant Mortality and scarcity of skilled & trained Human Resource. Further, Global Health data shows that in India the density of nurses per thousand population is less than 2 and thus there is a strong need to increase the health workforce including nurses to counter the challenges.
