Department Overview & Philosophy
Hita College of Nursing has a state-of-the-art Nutrition laboratory with all modern amenities for preparing students to formulate various kinds of diets. The nutrition lab is where students learn to prepare normal and therapeutic diets.
Students learn to prepare different types of exhibits for health education related to nutrition and diet therapy. Under the guidance of a qualified dietitian, they learn to prepare normal and therapeutic diets for various age groups and disease conditions without losing nutrients. We inspire our student nurses to understand the importance of nutrition and its role in disease prevention and healing.
