We believe in the following philosophical principles:

• Nursing practice is both an art and a science that is based on its own distinct body of knowledge.
  
• Nursing is a collaborative practice that acknowledges the contribution and value of all professional caregivers, ancillary staff and the patient’s input as the best means of providing excellence in care.
• Nursing is a partnership with those to whom we provide are and education.
  
• Nursing offers equality of care to patients, their families and loved ones regardless of ethnic, social and economic differences.
  
• Nurses treat patients and their loved ones with respect, dignity and compassion.
  
• Nurses exhibit accountability for their own clinical practice as well as responsibility for the fiscal implications of their care.
  
• Nurses continually seek to enhance their competence and skills as changing knowledge and technology become available.
  
• Nursing involves a lifelong commitment to education, learning, teaching and the willingness and flexibility to manage change.
• Nurses nurture and mentor each other, embracing both new graduates and nurses returning to the profession.
  
• Nurses enhance quality care by continually seeking opportunities for process improvement.
• Nurses create a professional practice environment where patient care is evidence-based and nursing research is both valued and encouraged.
