Nursing
Nursing is an Art and a Science. Nursing, as an Art, embodies learned therapeutic and caring behaviors and the creative use of skills and expertise essential to promote, maintain, and restore the person to an optimal level of health. Nursing, as a Science, integrates concepts from the humanities and the natural and behavioral sciences to develop a body of knowledge that supports the delivery of “evidence-based care”. Committed to lifelong learning, nursing requires the continual acquisition of new knowledge and skills to accommodate an ever-changing healthcare environment.
Nursing is a complex and multifaceted profession directed towards promoting the patient’s optimal level of health through the utilization of the nursing process, the application of critical thinking, and the transfer of theory into clinical practice. Nursing encompasses Human Flourishing, Nursing Judgment, Professional Identity and Spirit of Inquiry.
