AVTECH Philosophy
The Faculty believes that nursing is an art and science in which the protection, promotion, and optimization of health, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of illness and disease is paramount.
The cure of individuals, families and communities takes place in a variety of environments in which there are a variety of internal and external influences that affect the ability of individuals to grow and develop.
Health a human right, is a dynamic state of being viewed holistically and promoted through understanding, caring, adaptive coping and appropriate system / illness management.
Individuals are diverse, holistic, complex beings responding to basic human needs and life events while constantly interacting with others.
