The Program of Nursing Mission:

The Mission of the Nursing program at Al-Farabi College is to prepare nursing students at the general level of education. The prime concern is to equip the students with the needed knowledge and skills that enables them to meet the health care needs on the national and international level.
The Program of Nursing Philosophy:

The program of Nursing as an integral part of Al-Farabi College offers an undergraduate program that is congruent with its mission and goals. The curriculum was developed based on the philosophy that health is a dynamic process on the illnesswellness continuum, which is influenced by internal and external environmental factors that include all conditions and circumstances that surrounds and influence individuals and communities. Individuals, families, and communities interact with their environment throughout their life. When the individual respond with an adaptive behavior, homeostasis is maintained, which is usually stimulated by the internal and external influences of the environment. A health care need occurs when the individual is unable to maintain a balance between the internal and external conditions and influences of the environment. Nursing is a dynamic and evolving profession which is both an art and a science that aims to promote, maintain and restore the health of the client who may be an individual, a family, a group, or community to the optimum level attainable. Nursing incorporates knowledge from other sciences as well as from nursing science that is derived from nursing research. We believe that nursing as a humane profession and a science, respects human dignity irrespective of religious or cultural background. Nursing education is a dynamic interactive process that synthesizes knowledge from a variety of nursing sciences, health sciences, and social sciences to facilitate the learners needs of the students.
