School of Nursing
[edit]The School of Nursing, Baptist Christian Hospital, was established in April 1954[10] by Ms. Arlene Jenson and Ms. Betty Pierson, Christian Missionaries from the Baptist General Conference (BGC) USA. The school's main objective was to train nurses who could contribute to improving healthcare delivery in the region. The founding of the school marked an important milestone in the field of nursing education. In its inaugural year, the School of Nursing admitted its first batch of six students. The General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) program offered by the school is recognized by the Assam Nursing Council and the Indian Nursing Council.[11]
During the training period, students are posted in the parent hospital (Baptist Christian Hospital). However, they also get opportunities to gain clinical experience outside of their parent hospital, including clinical postings/exposure at institutions like LGBRIMH (Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi Regional Institute of Mental Health), the Tezpur Cancer Centre and Makunda Christian Leprosy & General Hospital.
