Philosophy

I believe nursing is a holistic practice that integrates exceptional communication skills, cultural sensitivity, and genuine passion. It requires a commitment to understanding and addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of clients. My philosophy of nursing education acknowledges learners' diverse learning needs, styles, readiness, and cultural backgrounds. Nursing, as both an art and science, responds to society’s health needs with compassion, adaptability, and evidence-based care in diverse environments.
