In 1995, all of the school offices and classrooms were moved to Metcalfe Building. The philosophy of the Central Maine Medical Center School of Nursing is based on the faculty's belief that a society sustains itself, with an educated citizenry capable of influencing its destiny in a responsible manner. Education is designed to promote individual growth, and freedom of choice. We believe that students of a single purpose educational institution should be assured of an opportunity to expand their perspective. General education courses, taken at regionally accredited colleges and universities, provide a milieu for diversity and choice, which increases the students' opportunity for growth and self-development.
Formal education provides an opportunity for individuals to develop problem-solving skills.
We believe that human life is valuable, that people are important and deserve respect. People are holistic beings unique individuals, developing according to a defined pattern. In addition, individuals are biopsychosocial beings with specific hierarchical needs which, if not met, have predictable patterns of response. Health and illness are individual perceptions which are influenced by a person's culture, experiences, and values. Individuals are potentially autonomous and have certain rights, responsibilities, and choices.
