The basic course in nursing is a formal educational preparation which should be based on sound educational principles as the foundation on which the practice of nursing is built, and on which further education depends.

Nursing is a profession, which is influenced by advances in services and technology. So, nurses need to evaluate the curriculum periodically and make the required changes, both in theory and practice.

The nature of nursing is such that a substantial portion of the student's learning is acquired in the clinical area with the provision of appropriate clinical facilities and clinical guidance. Periodical evaluation is the responsibility of the staff.

Persons drawn to nursing have concern for others' welfare, a belief in personal efficiency and a desire to actively engage in life activities.

Professional and non-professional personnel who are organized into self-directed team work can best provide high quality of nursing care.

When jobs for nursing personnel are designed, the leader needs to ensure employees autonomy, quality patient care, patient satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and self actualization.

Nursing leader has a responsibility in helping the student develop pride in the profession and in guiding her/him with respect to the future in nursing by demonstrating a high standard of professional behavior.
