Message From Dean

Nursing is an exciting and challenging profession. The art and science of nursing blends intellectual inquiry, evidence-based practice, and advanced technology with the heart and essence of care. Nursing is a sacred profession. No other healthcare provider has the opportunity to care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people when they are suffering and in pain. Here at CCU, nursing is “a ministry of compassionate care for the whole person, in response to God’s grace, which aims to foster optimum health (shalom) and bring comfort in suffering and death.” Shelly and Miller (2006). Called to Care. IVP Academic.
