Dear colleagues,

The NIGHTINGALE, 22 Feb 26 edition, will be with you on time.

The Vision and Mission of the NIGHTINGALE is the same, “Not to TEACH, but to SHARE.”

24 Papers do just that.

Nurses are the ultimate Nightingales. 49 Nurse- Authors feature in this issue.

Many Nurse Educators contribute; we hope to groom them into Research Nurses.

9 Hospitals participated

Trichy Cantonment leads with four papers.

The authors boldly take on weighty topics: Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke, Endoscopic Spine Surgery, C6 Vertebral Fracture secondary to Tuberculous Spondylodiscitis, Pertussis, Falls, Poisoning, Hernia, Intracranial Hypertension, Ig A Nephropathy, Quality, Medication Safety, Anaesthesia, Polytrauma, TKR, HIV, Spinal Cord Surgery etc.

We are sad about many departments that chose to remain silent.

We received just one from Rehab, even though we have THREE HAMSAs, and a rehab dept at each Kauvery Hospital.

We are delighted to receive one from Anaesthesia Technology.

We are dismayed to receive NONE from Clinical Dieticians, Unit Clinical Pharmacists, Physician Assts, HIC and Transfusion.

Sadly, they do not wish to SHARE their work.

But the NIGHTINGALE and KAUVERIAN shall never lose hope.

We believe the Kauverians and Nightingales do great work in service to our patients.

But we tend to forget the Collective Mission of all of us in Health Care-, ” To Examine our work carefully and critically, and Share our work with our peers through Presentation and Publication.

We cannot afford to forget that we were born in the land of Dhanvantari, Sushruta and Charaka.

Best regards

Kauvery Hospital
