Abstract

Nursing, as a profession has come a long way since the Crimean war times. Medical surgical, geriatric, pediatric, obstetric, cardiovascular, oncology and neurology nursing are sub specialties of nursing. According to Trained Nurses Association of India (TNAI) in India, the nurse to doctor ratio is almost 1.5:1, while it is 3:1 in developed countries. Nurse is considered subordinate to the physician with little contribution to the planning and execution of treatment in a critically ill patient. The quality of nursing education in India is regulated by the Indian Nursing Council (INC). INC is regulates nursing education in the country through prescription, inspection, examination, certification and maintaining its stands for a uniform syllabus at each level of nursing education. Nurses have a unique potential to influence healthcare delivery system in India. Improvements in the standards of nursing will improve the healthcare delivery in India. Some useful links related to critical care medicine and nursing are given at the end of the chapter.
