SVCC Applied Associate of
Science in Nursing Program’s Organizing Framework
The organizing framework for the AAS Nursing Program
encompasses five core values: Patient-Centered Care, Professional Identity,
Nursing Judgment, Collaboration, and Safe and Effective
Care.
Patient-Centered Care- Advocate for the
patient and families as a source of control and full partner in providing care.
By seeking learning opportunities with patients who represent all aspects of
human diversity across the lifespan a nurse will be better able to demonstrate
caring behaviors to a diverse population. Caring behaviors are nurturing,
protective, patient-centered, and compassionate. In order to demonstrate caring
behaviors and actions a nurse must understand and integrate the knowledge and
understanding of natural and behavioral sciences, nursing theory, research, and
past nursing experiences
Professional Identity- Conduct oneself in
a way that reflects integrity, responsibility, and ethical practice. Truly
understand what it means to be a nurse and what nursing means to patients,
families and communities. Actively participating in professional organizations
elevates the profession of nursing by instilling pride and self-fulfillment
found in being a nurse.
Nursing Judgment- Making effective
judgment in practice by utilizing current evidence to assist with clinical
decisions. Clinical decision making encompasses the performance of accurate
assessments and the use of multiple methods to access information, and the
analysis and integration of knowledge and information to provide positive
outcomes for the patient, family, and community.
Collaboration- Function effectively within
nursing and the inter-professional teams. Foster open communication, mutual
respect, and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient care. Utilize
collaboration to innovatively think about nursing practice. Challenge the
status quo and offer new insight to improve the quality of care for patients,
families and communities.
Safe and Effective Care- Recognize the
role nursing plays in the system of care and understand the process that affect
outcomes for patients, families, and communities. Understand the role nurses
have to continuously test and improve the quality and safety of care.
Incorporate technology and standardized procedures that support safety and
quality. Reporting of errors and near misses is integral to the practice of
providing safe and effective care. Utilize patient teaching and learning
processes to promote health and reduce health risks. These teaching and
learning processes are implemented in collaboration with the patient, family,
and other members of the health care team. Teaching promotes health education,
informed decision-making, and promotes the patient and family to become active
participants in safeguarding care.
In Virginia, a State License is required for this profession. More information may be obtained here or from the Virginia Department of Health Professions; Board of Nursing, Perimeter Center, 9960 Mayland Drive, Suite 300, Richmond, Virginia 23233-1463 Phone: (804) 367-4515.
