We, as mentors, will continue our legacy of uncompromising professional excellence through the creative art of nursing.
Nursing Philosophy
We Believe:
- That healthcare is a human right and that patients have the right and are encouraged to participate in their own care whether the goal is quality of life or dignity of death.
- That the community of nurses makes a commitment to deliver compassionate care to the patient in a competent, ethical, and caring manner.
- That the scope of nursing care includes the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health.
- That professional nursing values an interdisciplinary, collaborative process to create a caring-healing and patient-centered environment.
- That the nursing community is qualified through licensure, ongoing education, and experience.
- That the nursing community is responsible as advocates and mentors for our profession and for the evolution of health care.
