The members of the School of Nursing aspires to be professional exemplars in teaching, practice, and scholarship with a focus on excellence, integrity, evidence, collaboration, and a commitment to advancing a greater understanding of people’s experiences of health, illness, healing, and health promotion. The philosophical foundations of phenomenology, feminism, critical social theory, and humanism form the basis of the our curriculum. The meta-concepts of health promotion and caring are influenced and informed by these philosophical foundations.
The School of Nursing received a five-year recognition from the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia. This is the longest recognition awarded by the provincial regulatory body. Faculty and students are engaged in a variety of academic activities including presenting papers and posters at local, provincial, and national conferences.
