"GROWTH OF NURSING IN INDIA
HISTORICAL AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES"
Nurses are two-thirds of health workforce in India. Their central roles in health care delivery in terms of promotion, prevention, treatment, care and rehabilitation are highly significant. Their contributions towards achieving UN millennium development goals (MDG) and sustainable development goals (SDG) are very crucial but not sufficient enough particularly in developing countries like India to create major impact on health outcomes. Achieving universal coverage, increasing health financing, recruitment, training and retention of health workforce are two important goals that have direct relevance to India. Nursing today has witnessed several changes, successes and challenges through a lot of stride and movement. Nurses have widened their scope of their work, however while the roles and responsibilities have multiplied, there are still concerns with regard to development of nursing, workforce, selection and recruitment, placement as per specialization, pre service, in service training and human resource (HR) issues for their career growth. This paper attempts to present the futuristic nursing in the light of historical and contemporary perspectives.
