Development of children has been considered as an integral part of the national development. Early childhood years are the significant periods in life which are the foundation for several complex behaviours. The key to man's health lies largely in his environment. Much of man's ill health can be traced to adverse environmental factors and man is often responsible for pollution of environment. A study to assess the growth and social maturity of the toddlers in relation to housing structure an dwelling proximity to mass waste dumping site revealed that growth and social maturity were not associated but there was significant relationship of housing structure as well as dwelling proximity to mass waste dumping site with growth and social maturity. The rural toddlers exhibited better growth in comparison to urban slum toddlers with reference to national and international norms. However the urban slum dwellers seem to attain social maturity at an early age. There was no significant difference in social maturity between them except in the Self Help Dressing Skill.Keywords

A profession will be in a better position to pursue its goals when its actions are guided by an accurate understanding of its public image. India has a well planned public health care delivery system on one side as well as a huge burden of the global case load on the other. No doubt, nurses are the essential and indispensible members of the health team in the public health care delivery system. Being on the verge of the decade (2001-2010), it is essential that we evaluate where we are in terms of quantity and quality of national health care requirements and the professional education system with regard to nursing per se.Keywords

Nursing is a self- less service and is indispensible in health care delivery. Technology based health care services today demand knowledge and skills of various disciplines, hence the curriculum and the eligibility criteria for nursing career has also been drafted carefully by the regulatory bodies. Though a few students enter nursing with interest, majority feel to quit nursing after joining the course just because they realize the widespread difference in what they perceived as nursing training and what training they actually undergo in nursing. Many nursing students opine that the compact curriculum makes them to be on their toes during the training period. However the demand for nurses is on the rise and will never be a declining trend. Thus the challenge of attracting youngsters to the profession, helping them cope effectively during the training period, enhancing their competency during training and service and retaining them in the profession, is not to be underestimated by the nurse educators, nurse practitioners, nurse administrators and the regulatory body.Keywords
