Philosophy

Nursing is an art and a science. The art of nursing is reflected when individuals are viewed as unique beings, inseparable from and in constant interaction with the environment. The science of nursing is the practice of safe quality patient centered care using evidence-based practice as a foundation to promote health and positive patient outcomes that will facilitate ongoing growth as human beings. Professional nurses participate and examine research to develop critical nursing judgment and demonstrate leadership within the healthcare team. Central to the essence of nursing is caring which facilitates optimal human functioning through promoting, maintaining, and restoring health and preventing illness.

People possess bio-psychosocial, cultural and spiritual characteristics. People function within the environment in which they exist. Every person is unique, possessing dignity and worth, and has the capacity for change.

Nursing graduates accept that diversity and multicultural perspectives are valued regardless of race, ethnic origin, creed, gender, age, veteran's status etc.
