ABSTRACT
In the year 2021, the World Health Organisation stated that investing in nursing is not a cost, but an incitement, for universal coverage as well as Global Health security. India developed an ambitious vision of a Vikasitha Bharath. An aerial view suggests that a critical paradox persists, wherein we have over 3.3million registered Nurses. However, their potential as Primary architects of Public health remains untapped within the hospital settings. Post the pandemic, as we navigate further, we constantly strive towards Sustainable Development Goals. It is necessary to highlight that underutilisation of these goals is not only a constant issue in the workplace but also a major National Strategic Gap. It is undoubtedly mandatory to harness and secure the full spectrum of nursing power which is the need of the hour for Nation Building.
