The Student Nurses Association (SNA) is a prestigious nationwide organization dedicated to nurturing and shaping the next generation of skilled and compassionate nurses. By focusing on students during their formative years, the SNA aims to instill professional ethics, leadership qualities, and a commitment to excellence in nursing care. The association works tirelessly to promote the personal and professional development of nursing students through a variety of initiatives and activities.
At Bangalore Little Flower College of Nursing, the SNA is an active and integral part of campus life, operating as a registered unit under the TNAI state branch. Students are divided into four dynamic groups: Asklepians, Athenas, Aphrodites, and Hygeas, each symbolizing unity, energy, and a competitive spirit. These groups provide a supportive framework for students to collaborate and grow while fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
The SNA organizes a wide range of activities, including cultural events, sports competitions, community outreach programs, and observance of health-related days. These events not only enhance students' extracurricular skills but also emphasize the importance of holistic development. By participating in these initiatives, students develop a deeper understanding of public health issues, improve their communication and leadership abilities, and build a strong foundation for their future careers in nursing.
The NSS program, under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, is funded jointly by the Union and State Government. The program includes two main components: 'Regular Activities' and 'Special Camping Programs.' One of the primary objectives of NSS is to strengthen students' aspirations at the college level and to bring academic institutions closer to society.
At Bangalore Little Flower College of Nursing, the NSS Club actively engages students in community development, social welfare programs, and outreach activities that promote a sense of responsibility and empathy towards society. Through its initiatives, the club fosters holistic development and nurtures leadership skills among nursing students.
Ragging is a grave offense that undermines the dignity and well-being of students. At Bangalore Little Flower College of Nursing, we strictly enforce a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of ragging, as outlined by UGC regulations and the directives of the Supreme Court of India.
The Anti-Ragging Cell is a dedicated body established to prevent, address, and resolve issues related to ragging on campus. This cell actively works to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally. It conducts regular awareness campaigns, orientations, and workshops to educate students about the consequences of ragging and the importance of building healthy peer relationships.
The cell is equipped with a grievance redressal mechanism to promptly investigate and address complaints, ensuring justice and accountability. Students are encouraged to approach the cell without fear, as confidentiality is maintained throughout the process. Together, we aim to foster a harmonious and supportive atmosphere that upholds the values of respect, integrity, and camaraderie.
Nutrition is a cornerstone of good health and plays a vital role in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. At Bangalore Little Flower College of Nursing, we recognize the importance of educating students about the significance of proper nutrition in personal well-being and patient care.
As part of the curriculum for 1st Year B.Sc. Nursing students, the college observes Nutrition Day annually. This day serves as a platform for students to engage in various activities designed to create awareness about the value of a balanced diet and its impact on overall health. Activities include food demonstrations, poster presentations, seminars, and interactive sessions led by experts in the field.
The Nutrition Club actively encourages students to explore innovative ideas in promoting healthy eating habits and nutritional practices. Through these initiatives, we aim to empower students with the knowledge and skills to advocate for better nutrition, not only in their personal lives but also in their professional roles as healthcare providers.
Nursing Research is a dynamic and growing field where individuals can utilize their nursing education to discover advancements that enhance evidence-based care. Recognizing the importance of research in improving patient outcomes, Bangalore Little Flower College of Nursing actively encourages and provides opportunities for students and faculty to engage in meaningful research endeavors.
“PESQUISA,” the Research Club of Bangalore Little Flower College of Nursing, established in the year 2017, has been a pioneer in fostering a research-oriented mindset among students. This platform enables students and faculty members to explore innovative ideas and address contemporary issues in the nursing field. By cultivating a culture of research, PESQUISA has consistently inspired creativity and critical thinking, achieving significant milestones each year.
The college takes pride in the achievements of its research initiatives. Since 2018, RGUHS has sanctioned a grant-in-aid amounting to Rs. 90,000/- for undergraduate student research projects on diverse topics under the guidance of experienced mentors. This support highlights the institution’s commitment to advancing nursing education and practice through scholarly contributions.
