Introduction

Establishment of Sangam College of Nursing

The Sangam College of Nursing was established in 2005 after a Cabinet approval and the initial signing of a Deed of Agreement (DOA) between the Government of Fiji and T.I.S.I. Sangam in 2004. The MOA had thus been reviewed and signed in February 2010; forming the legal commitment for the Government of Fiji and T.I.S.I. Sangam to provide structures that cater for nursing education at Labasa.

The Sangam College of Nursing commenced   at the Fiji Sugar Corporation (FSC) Club House in the year 2005 – 2007, then in year 2008 it moved to the building in the main street of Labasa Town, where it remained there until September 2012.

In October 2012 the College of Nursing moved to Sangam Complex in Sangam Avenue, Labasa until to-date.

" Nursing is an art:  and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit?  It is one of the Fine Arts:  I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts".  ~Florence Nightingale
