We believe...

That nursing is a science and a caring art that involves the use of the nursing process in the application of knowledge, judgement, skills and interpersonal competencies in the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems. Nursing, as an essential compontent of society, promotes the improvement of health care by addressing society’s chang

ing needs and ethical concerns. As a dynamic profession, nursing demonstrates growth and development of its body of knowledge through basic and advanced nursing programs, research and education. In collaboration and cooperation between nurses, consumers and other health care professionals for the improvement of health care!
