The philosophy of the Health and Safety Education Training Center has been guided by the profession of Nursing. Nursing is a Science and an Art. The objective of nursing is to improve lives as front-line members of the health care delivery team to help individuals, families, groups, and communities to reach an optimum state of well-being by restoring, maintaining, and promoting their health. Nurses empower patients, guiding them toward health behaviors and support them in time of need. The Health and Safety Education Training Center philosophy provides an overall framework for general and specific nursing objectives as well as a foundation from which all aspects of our community of nursing students are developed.
