It is my pleasure to place a note of appreciation and my continued blessings on “Little Flower College of Nursing”, Manvila, a noble endeavor of the Archdiocese of Trivandrum. I am so happy on hearing that our institution is keeping high standard and securing very good academic result in the past examinations. Well, keep it always.
Of course, nursing is a noble profession. Always remember that medical knowledge and technology are advancing very rapidly and so a great nurse must have genuine sense of curiosity to keep working on their professional developments by improving their skills and learning. No two patients are ever be the same. So a good nurse is always solving problems and trying to individualise what is the best care for each patients. Caring, compassion and empathy sometimes confused as one and the same but there is specific discriminations. Empathy is the ability to hear and share patients feelings. For a nurse, this does not mean you always have to agree with what a patient or their family think. But it is very important that you listen and try to understand what they are saying. A genuine smile of a nurse, truly gives the patient a sense of comfort presuming that you are sincerely caring them. Don’t forget that a nurse who exercise giving respect for all co-workers, patients and their families will definitely earn a high level of respect, in return. Also, bear in mind that you are always treating the patients who are highly sick and severely injured and so you must be so humble, so polite and kind to them, considering that they are your brothers and sisters. Never forget that God is near to you, He is willing to listen you and He is able to help you always.
With warm wishes and blessings to all members of Little Flower College of Nursing, Manvila in the name of Jesus Christ.
