Bio
Ramandeep Kaur serves as Principal of Guru Nanak College of Nursing in Dhahan-Kaleran, Punjab. She is also an Assistant Professor of Psychiatric Nursing at the college.
Her classes help students prepare for the management and care of patients with psychotic and neurotic disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), somatoform disorders, substance abuse and more.
She also teaches nursing research processes to graduate students.
While teaching, Ramandeep Kaur emphasizes patient empathy and advocacy, critical thinking and upholding the dignity of the nursing profession.
She believes educators have the ability to create leaders through guidance and support.
Her favourite quote is from Gurbani (Guru Granth Sahib, Sikh scripture), which says, “Mann tu Jot Saroop Hain, Apna Mool Pehchan.” It indicates that each person should know and believe in themselves; that they have potential if they recognize it, and prove it to themselves.
Her nursing inspiration comes from Bhai Kanhaiya, a devotee of the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, who provided bandages and water to wounded soldiers in the battlefield without discrimination of caste, colour, creed or race.
Ramandeep Kaur earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) from Guru Nanak College of Nursing in 2008. Her degree was conferred by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences in Faridkot, Punjab.
She received her Master of Science in Nursing (MScN), with a specialization on Mental Health Nursing, in 2013. She graduated with distinction. Her master’s degree was also completed at Guru Nanak College of Nursing and conferred by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences.
To further her professional development, she regularly attends conferences and completes courses on subjects in nursing. She has also supervised seven undergraduate research projects on topics relating to health awareness and education.
Her accolades in the field of nursing have included:
- Passing the Objective Structured Clinical Examination designed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the United Kingdom (UK) to become a Registered Nurse (RN) with the National Health Service (NHS) in 2021.
- Completing a four-week, online, health care professional development program hosted by Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, in 2021.
