Nursing Conceptual Model & Framework

The nursing curriculum integrates six essential concepts that guide practice through the nursing profession, healthcare systems, and populations and communities.

The nursing profession emphasizes:

  • Professional Identity
  • Compassionate Integrity
  • Leadership
  • Advocacy

Healthcare systems focus on:

  • Inclusive Collaboration
  • Strategic Evidence-Based Practice

Grounded in these principles, populations and communities serve as the unifying context of nursing, addressing the complex and varied needs of individuals and groups across various and diverse settings.

Together, these integrated concepts ensure a holistic approach to nursing education and practice, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the profession, healthcare systems and the populations served.
