Nursing
What is Nursing?
Nursing, as an integral part of the health care system, encompasses the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and care of physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled people of all ages, in all health care and other community settings. Within this broad spectrum of health care, the phenomena of particular concern to nurses are individual, family, and group "responses to actual or potential health problems" (ANA, 1980, P.9). These human responses range broadly from health restoring reactions to an individual episode of illness to the development of policy in promoting the long-term health of a population. ✅Nursing FAQ ✅Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN) Nursing Program Resources ➡️Nursing Program Information Session Find out how to get started towards a degree in Nursing.
