Kakatiya School of Nursing, Lakshmi Devi Palli, Khammam

Kakatiya School of Nursing, Lakshmi Devi Palli, Khammam is in the process of developing structured exchange programmes to provide students with broader perspectives in nursing education and healthcare delivery. The institution recognizes that exposure to different healthcare settings and cultural contexts significantly enhances the professional competence of nursing graduates. Currently, the college facilitates inter-institutional exchange programmes with select nursing colleges across Telangana and neighbouring states, allowing students to experience different clinical environments and teaching methodologies. These domestic exchange initiatives typically last for short durations ranging from two weeks to one month and focus on specialized nursing areas such as critical care, oncology nursing, psychiatric nursing, and community health nursing. Students participating in these exchange programmes gain valuable insights into diverse patient populations, healthcare delivery models, and nursing practices in different settings. The institution is actively planning to expand these exchange opportunities to include international placements in collaboration with nursing colleges and hospitals abroad. The proposed international exchange programmes aim to provide selected meritorious students with opportunities to undergo clinical training in advanced healthcare facilities, attend international nursing conferences, and participate in global healthcare initiatives. The college provides necessary guidance, documentation support, and preparatory training to students selected for exchange programmes. Faculty members also participate in exchange programmes to update their knowledge and bring back innovative teaching methodologies and clinical practices to implement at Kakatiya School of Nursing, Lakshmi Devi Palli, Khammam.
