Philosophy of Nursing |
|
|
 The purpose of nursing is to provide appropriate, efficient and effective care to individuals in varying states of health across the continuum. At North Mississippi Health Services we believe:
-
Nurses assume a leadership role in the multi-disciplinary planning, coordination and delivery of care.
-
Nurses provide care with respect for the dignity and individuality of patients and
families.
- Nurses maintain integrity, respect confidentiality, build trust and foster mutual support with patients/families/other health care providers.
-
Nurses provide care to reduce pain and suffering, to enhance healing and to be a supportive presence in the face of grief.
-
Nurses encourage patients/families to actively participate in actual care and in decisions affecting their care.
-
Nurses promote individual health and well being through informal and formal education of patient/family and significant others.
-
Nurses seek educational opportunities to enhance clinical competencies and promote self growth and development in the pursuit of quality patient care.
-
Nurses are involved in professional activities at the organizational, local, state and regional level which address and/or affect the health of society, and the growth and image of their profession.
-
Nurses engage in individual and collaborative activities and scientific inquiry to maintain and improve the health of the community.
