Nursing

In order to meet the needs of the healthcare system one must not only try to increase the number of nurses and paramedics, but strive to increase the number of the well-educated ones. The healthcare of today needs nurses and paramedics who have mastered the basic knowledges and skills of medical care as well as highly-educated nurses and paramedics who will be able to work in administration and management, public healthcare and education.

The general goals of this programme are:
• To prepare students to provide nursing care based on ethical principles in a capable and responsible manner, and to raise their awareness about the necessity of lifelong learning
• To prepare students for work with individuals, their families and the community, respecting thereby their differences in culture and ethnicity
• Students will master team work and collaboration with all experts who are involved in all types of the promotion of health, treatment and medical care
• Students must receive the highest level of education as well as an integrated knowledge in theory and practice so that they are able to keep professionally developing through various forms of lifelong learning

The specific goals of this programme are:
• To develop specific knowledge, skills and attitudes about the nursing care of sick or healthy individuals, their families and the community as a whole
• To develop knowledge, skills and attitudes so that they are able to make a good evaluation about the needs for nursing care, about the selection of the best developmental strategy and management
• Coordination and evaluation of nursing care in various situations and workplaces
• To gain knowledge, capabilities and attitudes needed to work on changes within the community to promote health and prevent disease
• To develop the skills of critical analysis, synthesis and evaluation of nursing care
• To develop decision-making skills with respect to ongoing or intended nursing care procedures in unforeseen circumstances
• Acquire the ability to recognise and determine complex problems and find possible solutions for them
