A digital classroom in a nursing college offering General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) programs refers to an educational environment that utilizes digital technology and online tools to facilitate learning and teaching activities. It is a modern approach to education that combines traditional classroom methods with digital resources to enhance the educational experience for nursing students.
Online Learning Management System (LMS): An LMS is a web-based platform that serves as the central hub for digital classroom activities. It allows instructors to upload course materials, assignments, and resources, as well as enables students to access these materials, submit assignments, and engage in discussions.
Virtual Lectures: Instructors can conduct virtual lectures using video conferencing tools or live streaming platforms. These lectures can be attended by students remotely, allowing for real-time interaction between the instructor and students.
Multimedia Content: Digital classrooms often include multimedia resources such as educational videos, interactive simulations, and animations. These resources can be used to supplement traditional teaching methods and provide visual and auditory aids for better understanding of nursing concepts.
Online Assignments and Assessments: Students can complete and submit assignments online through the LMS. Instructors can also administer quizzes, tests, and other assessments electronically, providing immediate feedback to students.
Discussion Forums and Collaboration: Digital classrooms typically have discussion forums or online chat features where students can interact with their peers and instructors. This fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and allows for the exchange of ideas.
Access to Digital Libraries and Resources: Nursing students can access a wide range of digital resources, including e-books, research articles, journals, and databases. These resources support their learning and research activities.
Remote Access to Clinical Simulations: Some digital classrooms may provide access to virtual clinical simulations, allowing students to practice nursing skills and scenarios in a safe and controlled environment.
The goal of a digital classroom in a nursing college is to provide flexibility, accessibility, and interactive learning experiences for students, while still ensuring that they acquire the necessary knowledge and skills required for their nursing profession.

After the new students have completed 3 months of academics, they're deployed in hospitals and community so that they can perform their basic learnt skills there, as well as acquire the needed skills to be a full-fetched nurse in future. The industrial visits are also crucial for the students to gain external knowledge. And last, but not the least, learning is fun when there are tours involved, isn't it?

While technical knowledge is essential, soft skills enhance the student's ability to effectively communicate, empathize, and collaborate with patients, colleagues, and other healthcare professionals. Here are some key soft skills that can be beneficial for GNM nursing students:
• Communication Skills: Effective communication is vital in nursing. Students should be trained in active listening, clear verbal and written communication, and non-verbal cues to ensure effective patient interactions and team collaboration. So, Lakshmi Nursing Institute also provide experienced English teacher for improvement communication skills.
• Empathy and Compassion: GNM students should be trained to empathize with patients, understand their emotional needs, and provide compassionate care. Empathy helps build trust and enhances the patient experience.
• Teamwork and Collaboration: Nursing involves working closely with a diverse team of healthcare professionals. Students should learn how to collaborate, delegate tasks, and communicate effectively within a team to provide comprehensive patient care.
• Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Nursing students should be equipped with problem-solving skills to assess complex situations, make quick decisions, and provide appropriate care. Critical thinking helps them analyze information, consider alternatives, and implement the best course of action.
• Time Management: Nurses often face demanding schedules and must prioritize tasks efficiently. Students should be trained in time management techniques to ensure timely and effective patient care.
• Adaptability and Flexibility: Healthcare settings can be dynamic and unpredictable. GNM students should be prepared to adapt to changes, handle stress, and quickly adjust their plans to meet patient needs.
Soft skills training for GNM nursing students can be achieved through interactive workshops, role-playing exercises, case studies, and simulated scenarios. This holistic approach helps students develop the necessary interpersonal skills to excel in their nursing careers and provide compassionate and competent care to their patients
