CARING
A culture of caring, as a fundamental
part of the nursing profession,
characterizes our concern and
consideration for the whole person, our
commitment to the common good, and
our outreach to those who are
vulnerable.
CARING
All organizational activities are
managed in a participative and person-
centered way, demonstrating an ability
to understand the needs of others and a
commitment to act always in the best
interests of all stakeholders.
INTEGRITY
A culture of integrity is evident when organizational principles
of open communication, ethical decision-making, and humility
are encouraged, expected, and demonstrated consistently.
Not only is doing the right thing simply how we do business,
but our actions reveal our commitment to truth telling and to
how we always see ourselves from the perspective of others in
a larger community.
DIVERSITY
A culture of inclusive excellence encompasses
many identities, influenced by the
intersections of race, ethnicity, gender,
sexual orientation, socio-economic status,
age, physical abilities, religious and
political beliefs, or other ideologies.
It also addresses behaviors across academic
and health enterprises. Differences affect
innovation so we must work to understand
both ourselves and one another.
EXCELLENCE
A culture of excellence reflects a
commitment to continuous growth,
improvement, and understanding.
It is a culture where
transformation is embraced, and
the status quo and mediocrity are
not tolerated.
HUMAN DIGNITY
can be thought of as an individual's sense of
self-worth and self-respect.
It can encompass many things, including the
right to fill basic needs, like food, shelter, and
personal safety.
In the healthcare environment, human
dignity is more focused on aspects of privacy,
respect, and autonomy
AUTONOMY
Professional autonomy means having the authority to make
decisions and the freedom to act in accordance with one's
professional knowledge base.
Relevance to clinical practice: To
gain autonomous practice, nurses must be competent and have
the courage to take charge in situations where they are
responsible.
ALTRUISM
is concern for the welfare and well being of others.
In professional practice, altruism is reflected by
the nurse's concern and advocacy for the welfare of
patients, other nurses, and healthcare providers
