Philosophy of College
The faculty of the College of Nursing believes that nursing is a human science profession and an academic discipline that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems.
We believe the patient. Conceptualized as an individual, client, family, group or community, is the focus of the professional nurse.
We believe each individual is unique and holds values and beliefs reflective of his/her culture, spiritual, and life experiences.
The faculty believes that there are core competencies that enable a nurse to provide “safe passage” for patients.
The core competencies are the basis of the nurse’s ability to provide, design, manage and coordinate caring practices.
These core competencies are: systems thinking, response to diversity. Facilitation of learning in patients and staff, clinical inquiry, and collaboration.
The faculty believes that they serve student by being strong role models through their own commitment to excellence as teachers, scholars and clinicians.
The faculty are dedicated to cultivating a sense of professional empowerment, a desire for life long learning, and a passion for social justice in our students.
An innovative curriculum based on the changing health care needs of society and the health care delivery system is integral to the commitment of the faculty to student learning and development.
The faculty believes that students learn best when they actively engage in the learning process.
The faculty desire to work with students as a community of learners in which all function at a high level of accountability, flexibility, and integrity.
In that way, a true learning environment can be created that fosters the exchange of diverse ideas and opinions, and advances collaboration. In such a learning, Community, progress can be anticipated and the efficient use of technology can be assessed and incorporated into the total health care environment.
An appropriate balance between technology and aspects of human touch and caring is sought.
The learning environment embraces cultural diversity and welcome all qualified students and faculty to join our community of learners. Opportunities for multicultural learning experience will be offered locally and globally.
