Philosophy of VNP

AT CHSC, we believe that:

Excellent nursing education is the key to providing high-quality, inclusive, student-focused, and affordable allied health education that enables diverse students to be competent, confident, and employment-ready in the community that we serve. At the end of the VN program, the students will be prepared to provide safe and quality healthcare, prevent illness, and promote well-being among patients, families, and communities. Each student is unique and needs to learn new information and skills to reach his/her educational goal. Individual student has his/her learning potential and approach that are driven by their unique culture, values, beliefs, environment, and life experiences. CHSC VNP Philosophy identifies a set of core values that reflect the faculty’s beliefs about Maslow’s Hierarchy of human needs, the nature of the nursing process, conceptual framework, communication, and education.
