We believe that all patients should be given individualized care by nursing staff and that such care should incorporate physical, emotional and spiritual needs. The goal of health care should be to assist the patient to progress toward a level of optimal health.
Nursing is an integral part of health care and that the nurse is an important member of the health care team, and as such, continuing education is a necessary component of continuing improvement in health care.
Patients are encouraged to progress toward self-care and independence. Further, it is the responsibility of all nursing staff to act as patient advocates to provide quality care according to the wishes of the patient, family and/or significant others. Patients, their families, and / or significant others have the right to be well informed about the patient’s state of health, progress and care. |
