This can only be achieved by establishing a state of the art team of doctors and supporting professionals. We are making our highest effort to keep abreast with the current developments and advancements in the sphere of medical science and include those to make tailor of the course to suit the requirement of time. I am pleased and proud of having a good number of experienced and qualified teachers to ensure an excellent academic atmosphere which is an indispensable precondition to teach the Nursing students. I am pleased and proud that Dhaka Nursing College (DCNC) has become successful in producing hundreds of Nurses with the active assistance of some qualified and experienced teachers after the estab-lishment of the college.

I hope like the previous the new students will devote themselves fully to pursue their study assignments and will be excellent nurses.
