Of late, nursing has gained importance as the nurses have been playing a very vital role in the health-care delivery system in hospitals as well as in the community. Moreover, Nursing is a dynamic profession where nurses observe and make nursing diagnosis, even implement and evaluate the health care thus given. There has been a rapid progress in the medical sciences so nurses also have to keep abreast of the care-service along with medical advancements and also in its related technology. Therefore, nursing also has been developing its own specialities and the personnel are being given specialised training to fit into the specialities of the present day Medical Profession. Today Nurses are not only trained at the Diploma level, but also upgraded upto graduate, post graduate and at doctorate level in their respective specialities.

With the worldwide health awareness and the tremendous efforts of WHO, community health has become another area where the role of a nurse has come to be very important and inevitable. She/he goes home to home, be it in remote places of the villages, carrying out surveys and thus takes care of the families living under varied conditions of health.
