Students

Overview

Nursing students were exposed to various activities not only in the confines of the classroom or clinics but were active participants in every endeavor of the college and MSU-IIT. This is to give them the avenue to explore their full potential and capability with the sense of awareness of their duties and responsibilities at present and in the future. As Donna Wilk Cardillo stated, 鈥淣urses are the heart of healthcare鈥�, we are driven to instill this in our nursing students and to take pride in this humble profession when they eventually graduate and do their practice.

With the current threat of COVID-19, CON strive to learn and utilize the usage of technology through the innovative flexible learning and teaching strategies through various applications and online academic tasks to deliver our goal. It is indeed daunting and difficult with tremendous obstacles for both the faculty members and nursing students, but we brace ourselves for this challenge. We cannot do otherwise but, to mitigate and adapt as the situation calls for it. And as nurses, we learn to have options and back-up plans in order to teach and guide. Although it is very challenging and we are groping for this unexpected event, we still go on and move forward.

In CON, we believe to hone not only world class nursing graduates, but compassionate health care workers in the future. After all as Val Saintsbury aptly quoted, 鈥淣urses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription鈥�. CON will always aspire for quality and commendable professional attitude, but never forgetting the real essence of nursing service, 鈥渢o care and give quality nursing graduates who are transculturally responsive that will serve the world鈥�.
