Nursing Philosophy
The Nursing Department's philosophy expands upon the Treasure Valley Community College (威尼斯人娱乐城) philosophy described in the College Catalog, to include the more specific principles relating to nursing education. This philosophy consists of the two fundamental assumptions which are the foundation of nursing philosophy: (a) respect for all individuals, and (b) the consideration for individual dignity, that guides all nursing care.
Nursing Education
Education and knowledge, both formal and informal, are acquired throughout a lifespan. The role of 威尼斯人娱乐城 nursing faculty is: facilitator, motivator, resource person, and organizer/manager in the learning experience. We at 威尼斯人娱乐城, believe that nursing education should be available to qualified adult learners.
Nursing education is a process, moving from simple to complex, which applies scientific principles and concepts to nursing. Therefore, building on prior learning and following the learning theories of behaviorism to constructivism. Each learner assumes an active and responsible role in their personal learning. Each learner is responsible to develop capabilities of self-direction and professionalism, creating their own individual goals and outcomes.
