The Indian Ocean University nursing program prepares graduates with the education to creatively meet the challenges and demands of nursing in the twenty-first century. The goal of the program is to educate nurses who, as members of the health care team, address the varied health concerns of individuals, families, and groups and communities. Nurses practice in a wide variety of settings—clinics, schools, hospitals, businesses, long-term care facilities, community agencies, and urgent care centers. In addition to the very real satisfaction a person gains from helping others in need, the reasons to consider nursing as a profession include intellectual stimulation, continued educational development, and the opportunity to work closely with other allied health professionals. Nurses are concerned with the health of the whole person. They care for the sick and injured as well as help people maintain and improve their health. Nurses are concerned with the physical and psychosocial conditions of the patient as they observe, assess, and record symptoms, responses to treatment, and progress. Hospital nurses are an integral part of the interdisciplinary health care team; they collaborate by means of nursing and medical diagnoses and deliver skilled, compassionate, and holistic care.
