To prepare registered nurses as analytic, critical thinking nurse educators/managers and community nurses who are able to function within a multidisciplinary health team, the following key areas are emphasized:
Analytic and Critical Thinking Skills: Focus on developing skills to critically analyze health issues, research findings, and healthcare policies. Nurses are encouraged to think analytically to solve complex problems in a healthcare setting.
Educational Preparation: Equipping nurses with the necessary knowledge and skills to educate future nurses, patients, and the community on health promotion, disease prevention, and management of various conditions.
Managerial Skills: Providing training on effective leadership, communication, and decision-making skills to enable nurses to manage healthcare resources efficiently and lead teams towards achieving common goals.
