“Nursing” has evolved to an entirely new level since its birth. The baton of unconditional love and care that has been passed down from Miss Nightingale across generations has undergone a paradigm shift today. Technological advancements, amazing discoveries and awesome inventions, have endowed the profession of nursing accessories for better care. From what was earlier known as “traditional” nursing, the profession has now transformed into a “hi-tech” nursing. Today, we are in an era of evidence-based practice. The essential perquisite of any nursing action is its scientific validity. Nurses are thus becoming increasingly rational and scientific in their approach to nursing care. Nevertheless, the profession still holds firm to its noble values of “love”, “care” and “selfless service”. It stands firmly grounded on the principles of humaneness, which is in fact the need of the present day. Thus, nursing education has two crucial roles to play. It should be aimed at nurturing future nurses with all the essential values of life at one hand, and simultaneously, it should provide the student nurses with knowledge, skills and attitude related to the hi-tech care. While education has always imparted knowledge and developed the mind, the major function of education would be to inculcate in the student a desire to evolve. Basically, nursing education aims at creating a competent nurse with a “HEART”, “HEAD” and “HAND”.
