HISTORY | PHILOSOPHY

The College of Nursing believes in the dignity and worth of the individual, his social, spiritual and cultural heritage, and innate capacity to develop holistically, if given the opportunity. Thus, the students shall be encouraged to take advantage of the school’s extensive resources and to reflect and achieve this in their personal life and relationship with clients (individual, family, group, community) across life span irrespective of race, gender, creed, or socio-economic status.

The philosophy of the College of Nursing is anchored on the belief that its major role is to prepare a well-integrated, values-oriented human being and professional nurse; it hopes to achieve this though its balanced general education and values-oriented curriculum and nursing program.
