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).
