| Overview |
|
|
Nursing is a rewarding but highly technical field. Nurses must know not only
the health sciences, but also how to plan, organize and educate patients and
their families. In order to do that, nurses of RHUH are recruited very
carefully from accredited schools of nursing. They are offered a comprehensive
staff development program and are urged to take advantage of educational
opportunities in- house, locally and abroad.

| Philosophy |
Nursing is an art and a science dedicated to
improving the physical and psychological well-being of patients. We are
committed to excellence in Practice, Education, Informatics, research and
Administration.
We provide care to patients and their families in a respectful, caring manner.
We deliver care which is appropriate, effective, and aimed toward specific
outcomes.
We provide education that empowers patients, families, and staff to make
decisions about health care. We promote a learning environment for staff. Our
staff participates in all aspects of education, including professional
development; we value academic education, and we support staff members who seek
advanced education.
We provide information systems that serve users by making data readily
accessible for clinical and management decision making, quality improvement,
education, and research. We support the development of efficient
electronic systems that enhance communication among staff and facilitate the
flow of patient information throughout the enterprise.
We improve the quality of care by assuring that patients and families receive
nursing care which has been demonstrated by research to improve outcomes. We
are committed to an environment which fosters scientific inquiry, critical
thinking, and adoption of innovations.

| Nursing Process |
|
|
Nurses work in many different areas, but the common thread of nursing is the
process, the essential core of how a registered nurse delivers care. The
process involves five steps:
-
Assessment: collecting and analyzing the physical psychological and socio
cultural data about a patient.
-
Diagnosis: making a judgment on the cause, conditions and path of the illness.
-
Planning: creating a care plan which sets specific treatment goals.
-
Implementation: supervising or carrying out the actual plan.
-
Evaluation: continuous assessment of the plan.
We believe that, though education and knowledge are the basis of our nursing
process, critical thinking is as important, therefore we encourage learning and
thinking.

| Virtue, voice and vigilance |
|
Inherent in nursing, is respect for human rights and especially patients'
right, like cultural rights, the right to life and choice, to dignity and
