We believe that:

• Humans possess diverse, integrated, and individualized physical and psycho-social needs. They continuously interact with their environment influencing their level of wellness. All humans deserve respect for their preferences, values, and needs.

• Health is a lifelong process of change in which humans experience physical and psycho-social well-being. Illness impacts the ability to meet needs. Health promotion is essential to an individual’s well-being, safety, and self-care management.

• Education is a continuous, dynamic process of cognitive, psycho-motor, and effective development. It incites the formation of knowledge, skills and attitudes vital to effective self-direction and professional growth.

• Learning affects change in the individual’s ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. It incorporates and builds upon previous knowledge and experience, proceeding from the simple to the complex. Motivation, self-direction and readiness to learn are necessary for the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Learning, through active participation, advances the individual to new levels of competence that will continue beyond graduation.

• Nursing is a therapeutic process designed to meet the multiple dimensions of patient centered care. An essential goal of nursing is to provide safe, quality, cost-effective care using evidence-based practice. Nursing provides assistance to humans to achieve and/or maintain their optimal wellness or to

experience a peaceful and dignified death.
