PHILOSOPHY The Council believes that: Health and wellness are two fundamental concepts that are integrated throughout the program. Health is a state of well-being that encompasses physical, psychological, social, economic and spiritual dimensions. Wellness is the individual‘sperception of wellness and is influenced by the presence of disease and individual‘s ability to adapt. Health is a right of all people. Individuals have a right to be active participants in achieving health as they perceive it. Society consists of dynamicand interactive systems involving individuals, families, groups and communities. Cultural diversity, race, caste, creed, socioeconomic levels, religion, lifestyles, changes in environment and political factors influence it. Nurses and midwivesrecognize and respect human differences and diversity of population within society and provide ethical care with respect anddignity and protect their rights. Nursing as a profession and a discipline utilizes knowledge derived from arts, sciences (physical, biological andbehavioral), humanities and human experience. Nursing science incorporates clinical competence, critical thinking, communication, teaching learning, professionalism, and caring and cultural competency. Nurses collaborate withotherhealth disciplines to solve individual and community health problems. Nursing facilitates evidence-based practice, compassionate caring among its practitioners in response to emerging issues in healthcare and newdiscoveries andtechnologies in profession. Nursing practice requires personal commitment to professional development and life-longlearning. Scope of nursing and midwifery practice encompasses provision of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitativeaspects of care to people across the life span in a wide variety of healthcare settings. Nursing practice is based on acquisitionof knowledge, understanding, attitude, competencies and skills through the Council‘s curricular and practice standards.
