Kohima: The College of Nursing at the Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research in Dimapur inducted 104 students on November 14. This 16th batch of General Nursing and Midwifery students and 13th batch of B.Sc. Nursing candidates took their professional oath. The group included 50 GNM and 54 B.Sc. Nursing students.
