Compassionate nursing care is not limited to physical healing, but encompasses the spiritual and psychosocial aspects of humanity. Nurses have a specialized body of knowledge in addition to knowledge gained from the biological and behavioral sciences. Nursing knowledge is acquired through empirical testing, personal, aesthetic and ethical methods. All knowledge emanates from God. We believe students learn by being active participants in the educational process. Knowledge from the liberal arts prepares students for lifelong learning and continual discovery. While healthcare is the principle concern of nursing, health practices cannot be considered devoid of the context of the socio political and cultural systems. Advocacy is an essential attribute of professional nursing practice. Nurses advocate for others by providing direct care, coordination of care, and through social and political advocacy aimed at reducing health care disparities. The heart of nursing is service to others. At Alliance, our service toward others is motivated by, and a reflection of our love for Christ. In serving others, we believe Christ is glorified. Excellence is a cornerstone of the Alliance University experience. Faculty in the School of Nursing endeavor to mentor students toward excellence by modeling Christ in all we do. Through Christian nursing education, students enter the practice of Christian nursing and prepare to serve others to the best of their ability. We believe that an attitude of service is the key to a meaningful and rewarding career as a professional nurse. Conceptual Framework Godly Living Godly living is foundational to the delivery of nursing care from a Christian worldview. Students grow in their relationship with God through engaging in spiritual disciplines such as; prayer, faith, scripture study, and through obedience to the Word of God and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. A personal relationship with Christ and obedience to his Word is a living testimony of Godly living. The call to Christian nursing requires a willingness to obediently conform to God's standards as evidenced by Godly living. Person Persons are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) for the purpose of having a relationship with God (Deuteronomy 6:4-6), through the person of Jesus Christ (Matthew 22:37-39). Each person can choose to reject or accept this relationship. Persons are mind, body, soul and spiritual beings. They shape and are shaped by cultural norms and life experiences. As complex beings each person has unique attributes, yet commonalities that bind individuals together. The diversity within the human state is valued and enriches our experience in the world. Health Perfect health is in harmony with God. Health is characterized by wholeness of mind, body, spirit, and soul, not merely by the absence of disease. While health is an important goal of individuals, the importance of health to society cannot be over emphasized. Health care disparities 8
