Ward-Ready Nursing Programme
A hands-on course in applied clinical nursing. Six Sundays at Caspian Healthcare, Hyderabad. You do every skill yourself on models, with real cases, until a trainer signs it off. No theory you will not use.
This course covers general ward, OPD and day-care nursing. It does not cover critical care (CCU or ICU) nursing.
Each module: a pre-test quiz, a patient case, short teaching, a demonstration, an hour at skills stations, the case again, a post-test and logbook sign-off. The same patients return month after month, so the cases build like a real ward.
