If you want to live a meaningful day, try spending it doing something for elders – Care for the aged and sick, make them happy and spread goodness.

While the life expectancy is increasing steadily and quality of life is being emphasised more, the senior citizens' group is still prone to sufferings at various levels – Physical, Mental/Emotional and Spiritual. The elderly require comprehensive holistic care encompassing the body, mind and soul.

Bhaktivedanta Hospital & Research Institute’s Institute of Nursing Education is recognised by the Maharashtra Nursing Council and the Indian Nursing Council. The Institute’s vision is to provide quality nurses with spiritual vision to the society. Every year the faculty and staff members look out for newer ideas to improve the quality of nursing education. Students are empowered with values and modern healthcare nursing practices in order to serve and discharge their duties with care, compassion, commitment and competence. To meet the ever increasing demand for well-qualified trained nurses in India and abroad, the Institute runs Revised General Nursing & Midwifery Diploma Course (R.G.N.M.) since the year 2005 and Post Basic B.Sc.
