PHILOSOPHY
In this twenty first, there has emerged a realization that the health care needs of our community are not being adequately met. As the society becomes more informed and increasingly aware of its fundamental rights, health care professionals must be adequately prepared to deliver the quality of care that is relevant, functional and acceptable for their clients. Realizing the challenges of the new millennium and the complex nature of our society, we at Babcock University School of Nursing Sciences are committed to providing competent professionals for the Nursing education careers with a well-structured, broad-based professional training that is relevant and functional, reflecting a Christian orientation. While upholding the importance of the highest academic standards, the uniqueness of Babcock University is to be found in the pursuance of the Seventh - day Adventist Philosophy of education that emphasizes the harmonious development of the academic, physical, psycho-social and spiritual potentials of students. The Department of Nursing Sciences believes that as we seek to develop high professional competence in our students, we also desire to integrate Christian values in preparing Nursing and Midwifery professionals, in harmony with our conviction of what Christian education should be, to appreciate the meaning of the full restoration of dignity, value and self worth to mankind. Therefore, in developing professional skills in our students we hold in high esteem the following values:
i. Beneficence of God who provides all things in love
ii. Sacredness of life: for life is precious and of inestimable price
iii. Essence of true knowledge: all truth is God’s truth
iv. Dignity of labour as it is appointed unto us to serve humanity
v. Faith: which means man’s response to receive that which God provides him
vi. Equity: all are created equal and should be treated with consideration
vii. Respect for the beliefs, values and culture of others
viii. Integrity: matching faith with action.
