Chairperson's Message
Academic excellence has become a way of life with all of us at Rajalakshmi College of Nursing (RCN). RCN, through its pioneering efforts, aims to create leaders in the nursing profession by providing unique, innovative programmes that are responsive to the market need, keeping in mind the rapid advances in the health-care sector in India as well as overseas.
Florence Nightingale established the Nightingale Nursing School as the first ever Nursing entity in 1860. Since then it has spread all over the world and technology has been stepping in, taking it through several wheels of change so that ‘Traditional Nursing’ has transitioned to ‘Hi-tech Nursing’. I am confident that RCN will create a benchmark in nursing education at international level in terms of quality of education and service provided.
