The philosophy integrates the conceptual framework that was created by faculty to provide guidance for the selection and organization of learning experiences to accomplish program outcomes. The conceptual framework serves to unite these four constructs:
Nursing
Nursing is an art and science that recognizes, mobilizes, and enhances the client’s strengths through learned skills, professionalism, expertise, and integrity accompanied by evidence-based practice.
Person
The person is a unique, physical, psychosocial, moral, cultural, and holistic being or society with value, respect, and worth possessing the capacity for development, change, and choice for which they are responsible.
Environment
The environment is a dynamic subtotal of internal and external stimuli that influence the understanding and adaptation of the person to the community in which they live.
Wellness
Wellness is defined as the individual’s perception of his/her quality of life throughout the lifespan and his/her ability to adapt to restrictions of environment, disease, or disability.
