Nurses for Senate : to lead the nursing community voice in the university
The warm greeting to all the nursing teachers and professors working across Karnataka in various nursing institutes affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru.
The RGUHS has issued the notification to conduct the Senate election in the coming month September 2018, where various teachers, associate professors, and professors from the different faculty of healthcare sciences institutes affiliated to the RGUHS will be voting to elect the members for Senate.
This is the great opportunity for the nursing faculty to be part of the Senate and represent the nursing community in the university, where nurses can influence and assist the university to deliver the quality healthcare education.
There exist two categories of Senate members from the academic section one is the professor category and another one is other than professor category nursing faculty is qualified to contest in these two categories based on their enrollment in teacher database maintained by the university.
As the Nursing profession evolving as a caring profession in India due to various reasons, however, the nursing community is less rewarded and not given due respect and there are not many nurses in policy-making position which is hindering many people to join the nursing profession or in other words nursing is not an aspirational one as many other education streams. This development is not a good thing for the Indian society because we are nearly 1.3 billion people, to keep such a large population healthy we need a lot of caring, passionate nurses, to do so we need to have nursing leaders in the policymaking position.
Hence, I kindly request all the nursing faculty to vote for the nursing teachers as priority vote. As per the sources, there are nearly 3,500+ nursing teachers/professors in Karnataka by this voting base we can definitely win three seats in the Senate one from the professor category and two from other than professor category.
We have hardly left with 60 days to vote, so unite nurses, call your fellow colleagues to talk to them and persuade them to vote nurses, not just nurses you can also seek the support of other healthcare faculties to support the nurses to be in Senate, tell other faculties how nurses are the backbone of healthcare, how caring they are.
Nurses who are working in other than the academic area you can also participate in this election by supporting the fellow nurses.
To sum up, don't be thought enslaved be empowered to be the leaders of healthcare.
Yours Sincerely,
Basalingappagouda Patil (B J Patil) RN
