Nursing administration in India faces several challenges including a shortage of nurses, low nurse-to-population ratios, and underpaid nursing staff. Current trends in nursing administration include increasing population diversity, rapid technological advances, globalization, a focus on quality care and evidence-based practices, and expanding telehealth. Nursing education must also adapt to these changes by offering more online courses and strengthening nursing research. Addressing issues like staffing, salaries, harassment, and providing continuing education can help overcome challenges in nursing administration in India.
