Nursing Education
Nursing education is a dynamic, continuous learning process of acquiring nursing and midwifery knowledge and skills that bring about changes in student behaviors. It requires active, life-long learning that builds on previous knowledge and experience. Learning is best achieved when students are motivated, their dignity is respected, and professional clinical role modeling is provided.
Institutional Goal
The institutional goal is to produce competent nurses capable of demonstrating knowledge-based practice. We aim to provide quality holistic, client-centered nursing care to meet global health needs and to promote, maintain, and restore the health of individuals, families, and communities.
