INTRODUCTION:
Undergraduate nursing program at post basic level is a broad based education with the academic framework, which builds upon the skills and
competencies acquired at the diploma level. It is specifically directed to the upgrading of critical thinking skills, competencies and standards of in-
service nurses for practice of professional nursing and midwifery.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences was established by an Act of Parliament in 1956 as an autonomous institution of national importance. By
virtue of this Act, the Institute grants its own medical degrees and other academic distinctions. The degrees granted by the Institute under the All
India Institute of Medical Sciences Act are recognised medical qualifications for the purpose of the Indian Medical Council Act and, not
withstanding anything contained in the said Act, are deemed to be included in the first schedule of that Act, entitling the holders to the same
privileges as those attached to the equivalent awards from the recognised Universities of India.

STRENGTH OF POST BASIC B.SC.NURSING PROGRAMME AT AIIMS:
Most of the guidelines are fulfilled by College of Nursing, AIIMS.
Teacher student ratio of 1:10 is maintained.
Lecturer and tutor supervise students in the clinical field.
29
 Admission terms and conditions are according to INC.
The college has extra-curricular activities which help for the all round development of the students.

WEAKNESS OF POST BASIC B.SC.NURSING PROGRAMME AT AIIMS

Poor infrastructure related to the classroom and laboratory- nursing practice lab.
The P.B.B.Sc. students do not have a separate classroom.
The library has limited nursing related books and journal.

RECOMMENDATION:
There should be more facilities for procuring nursing related books and journals.
Provision for a separate classroom for Post basic B.SC nursing student should be made available.

POST BASIC B.SC.NURSING PROGRAMME BY IGNOU

The preparation and launching of Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing degree programme has been agreed upon by IGNOU, at the request of Indian Nursing
Council. The need for this was felt as the pace of providing higher education to working nurses was very slow due to shortage of Colleges of
Nursing and paucity of seats available in each at that time. As per the New National Policy of Education, the emphasis is on the need for making
higher education available within the reach of all. Launching of Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing Programme through Open University will meet its
objectives. Further, it will also contribute towards the growth of nursing profession, promote Nation’s idea of accelerating women’s education
and uplifting the expanded and extended role of the nursing personnel. The development of this programme has been undertaken with the
involvement of nursing experts, scientists and educationists from related disciplines all over the country.
