CNMU Nursing Mission Statement

Belief
The BSN program at CNMU is established on the belief that nursing is a harmonious science that is constructed on the discipline of knowledge and caring. Our philosophy of nursing articulates the lifelong transformative process of nursing knowledge, nursing skills, and personal values (ENMU, 2015). We believe professional empowerment, a desire for learning, and societal justice should be encompassed in the learning process of our students. Curriculum is technology based due to the ever-changing health care delivery systems and societal needs. Our philosophy incorporates and asseverates the mission and philosophy of CNMU, of which nursing is an intrinsic part (ENMU, 2015).
