Nursing is committed to health promotion, restoration, rehabilitation and the care and comfort of the dying. Through the nursing process, individuals, families and communities are assisted in achieving their optimal level of wellness. Nursing is concerned with the whole person and strives to meet the needs of individuals of all ages, developmental and socio-cultural economic levels in a variety of settings. The profession of nursing promotes client advocacy through communication, education, and collaboration among the nurse, client, and members of the multi-disciplinary health team. Learning is a continuous interactive process that results in the acquisition of desired behavioral changes.
Nursing education integrates concepts from liberal arts and sciences.
This provides a basis for the correlation of nursing theory with professional practice and is the foundation for higher education. The faculty fosters a learning environment by providing a variety of educational and multi-cultural experiences. The faculty promotes personal and professional growth by recognizing and accepting individual differences, life experiences and previous learning. The learner becomes increasingly independent in the acquisition of knowledge, critical thinking skills and in the development of professional judgment and behavior. The student is responsible to be self directed and accountable for life long professional growth.
