Children's Hospital nurses are dedicated to providing excellence in pediatric nursing care through evidenced based clinical care, education and research. This vision is achieved through collaboration with members of the multidisciplinary health care team, patients, families and our community.
We believe:
The child is an extension of a family with whom we actively involve in the plan of care.
Children's fears can be minimized by providing age appropriate education. Similarly, families are better able to advocate for and make decisions regarding their child's health if they have accurate and timely information.
Planning and providing care is most effective when we include families, patients, nurses, doctors, and other health care team members in meeting the individualized needs of our patients.
In preserving the privacy and dignity of our patients and families.
And honor the diverse cultural nature of our patients and families by respecting their unique beliefs, cultural values, and diverse backgrounds.
Involvement of family members in the care of their child improves overall patient outcomes.
Patients and families are the decision makers, and we empower them through education and support.
In protecting the rights of our patients and families by ensuring confidentiality of all patient and family information.
In order to provide safe, effective, efficient, timely, equitable, patient and family centered care, we must continue to seek creative ways to improve care through evidence based practices, benchmarking and scientific inquiry.
