Nursing
Nursing is a profession that uses nursing science and other arts and sciences to provide professional care to regain, maintain and promote health throughout a person’s lifespan and/or dignity at the time of death. Nurses enact the roles of professional nursing practice as caregiver, educator, leader, researcher, advocate, partner and designer of care. Nursing is committed to the future through excellence in patient care, education and research.
Within the multidisciplinary healthcare team, the discipline of nursing provides patient-focused, holistic, sensitive care to individuals, families, communities and groups in their various environments, recognizing the importance of personal value systems in health matters. As major players in the healthcare system, nurses are responsible and accountable for their own practice while contributing to positive changes in collaboration with other disciplines to increase access to care, manage cost and preserve quality outcomes.
