The faculty of Mar Baselios College of Nursing believes that:
Nursing is a noble profession. It is both science and an art. As a science it is based on systematized body of knowledge continually evolving with progress in science. A nurse applies this knowledge in a personalized way by delivering care artfully with compassion, caring and respect for each clients dignity. A well trained and competent nurse integrates the art and science of nursing into practice. This makes the quality of her care at a level of excellence which is most beneficial to clients and their families.
It is the unique function of the nurse to assist the individual sick or well in performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery or to a period of peaceful death, that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge.
Nursing is much more than simply a collection of specific skills and a nurse is not just simple a person trained to perform specific tasks. It is a profession, which lays considerable emphasis on ethics. A nurse is a professional devoted to the promotion of human and social welfare ethically.
Nursing is a protection, promotion and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human responses, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families and communities and populations.
