 Our nursing vision is: Experience
and share the joy of nursing.
Our Nursing Philosophy
We, the nursing team of Memorial University Medical Center, reaffirm our belief that nursing is the art and science of
human caring. Nursing is a hands-on humanitarian profession that
acts as an advocate for patients.
We, through collaboration with physicians and
other Team Members, support our patients' efforts to attain self-defined
quality of life. We provide holistic care that encompasses patients'
diverse needs, regardless of diagnosis, lifestyle, race, socioeconomic
class, or creed. We shall meet individual patient care needs with
compassion, respect, and clinical expertise. We believe in the rights
of patients, families, and significant others to participate in
the planning, implementation, and evaluation of each patient's care.
We honor and accept the trust that patients and their families place
in us.
We support our organization's mission. We believe that healthcare is not limited
to illness. Healthcare encompasses a continuum from wellness through
illness to restore health when possible or provide supportive palliative
care, when not. We are dedicated to fulfilling care needs during
the entire continuum through the art and science of nursing practice.
We believe in the efficient and cost-effective
use of resources.
We are committed to creating an environment
conducive to excellence in practice by nurturing individual potential
and professional growth. We respect and support all nurses for the
specialized contributions they make to positively affect care and
outcomes. We hold each other and ourselves accountable for professional
behavior and autonomy. We believe nurses are responsible for their
continuous professional and personal development. We are committed
to the retention, growth, and continued development of nurses through
teaching, mentoring, innovation, and research based on scientific
nursing theories.
We shall listen, support, and nurture one another
with dignity, humor, and pride.
