The school reports its educational mission is:
"Central to the WSWHE Practical Nursing Program's philosophy are beliefs about
people, nursing and education. We view people as holistic, unique human beings
with complex physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. We also feel they,
as clients, have a right to decide how to meet their health care needs and to
participate in the process of meeting those needs. Practical Nurses make a
unique and valuable contribution in helping clients to achieve an optimum level
of health and wellness in a variety of health care settings. We feel it is
important that Practical Nurses consider their clients' lifestyles, values and
cultures as they care for their clients. Nursing is a caring profession. It is
both an art and a science. The practice of Nursing arises from a core of
knowledge that integrates concepts from biological, psychological, social
sciences and liberal arts. All nursing practice is adjusted to meet the needs of
clients at their stage in the life cycle and to attain an optimum level of
wellness as determined by actual or potential health problems. Nursing is always
governed by legal and ethical parameters. We believe leaning is a continuous
process moving from the simple to the complex that leads to changes in student
behaviour. Learning is enhanced by active involvement on the part of the learner
as well as interaction with faculty, both of which promote students' critical
thinking and problem solving abilities. We believe Practical Nursing education
should provide students with learning skills that prepare them for the changing
needs and dictates of the health care delivery system and society. Two defining
statements from the Licensed Practical Nurses' national organizations help guide
our curriculum toward preparing grades for practice. The Practical Nurse
utilizes specialized knowledge and skills which meet the health needs of people
in a variety of settings under the direction of qualified health professionals.
