The Fundamental Nursing Lab Room: Where Theory Meets Practice in Shaping Future Nurses
In the heart of every premier nursing institution lies a space where textbooks come to life, and students transform into skilled caregivers: the Fundamental Nursing Lab Room. At Rumiya Nursing College, Naogaon, this lab is more than a training ground—it’s a sanctuary of learning, innovation, and confidence-building. Designed to mirror real-world clinical environments, the lab equips students with the hands-on expertise and compassion needed to excel in healthcare.
