JODHPUR: Nine student nurses were rusticated by S N Medical College administration here on Sunday for organising a high-voltage party adjacent to the ICU of Mahatma Gandhi School of Nursing.
Their principal Prahlad Singh Chaba has also been removed from the post. The incident occurred on Saturday night. The nursing school is affiliated to S N Medical College here.
According to sources, students of Mahatma Gandhi School of Nursing threw a farewell party for those completing their internship this year. However, the party turned into a high voltage bash without any consideration for the sanctity of the hospital or seriousness of the patients in the ICU. Generally, doctors at the hospital don’t allow any loud voice.
Superintendent of the nursing school, P D Motiani also participated in the party, from whom permission for the party was taken. But Motiani later claimed that he was kept in the dark about the party. He said students had sought permission for just a small farewell party with no noise and dance and that too for 1-2 hours.
“I had given permission on condition that no noise, no announcement or no music will be played. However, the students violated the conditions, which led to the massive inconvenience to patients in the ICU,” Motiani said.
About 30-40 nursing students had assembled in this farewell party which started at about 12 noon and Motiani himself was present for about half an hour. He claimed that when he was there, the party was going on as per the permitted lines.
However, it was unbelievable that any of the hospital staff could not learn about the nature of the party and report the matter to the responsible persons or even to Motiani.
Finally, the news reached him at about 4.00 pm and he forced the party to conclude. Till then, nobody emerged from the hospital to intervene and stop the students.
Meanwhile, the attendants of the patients also came out of the ICU and objected. However, the students did not lend ears to their requests and continued with high voltage music and dancing by closing down the gate of the lecture hall.
Motiani said they had ordered an inquiry, the report of which will be submitted to principal of the medical college, R K Aseri.
