SCHOOL OF NURSING Loma Linda University School of Nursing is committed to providing a balanced professional education in a Christian Environment. The faculty of the school places high value on the wholeness needs of mankind and consequently on the promotion of human and social welfare. The primary aim of nursing is to serve humanity by ministering to the body, mind, and spirit. Nursing is an art based on science, directed toward the promotion of physical and mental health, and the prevention of disease. lt is a service to individuals, families, and communities. Aside from functions derived from medical authority, nursing has independent functions in the areas of wellness and health promotion. The nurse combines the work of healing with the work of helping indi- viduals and families reach their level of optimal functioning through a life style congruent with the laws of health. Nursing practice encompasses a diversity of experiences, ranging from the care of infants to the care of the elderly. Nurses practice in a variety of settings-from the hospital, with its many specialty needs to community agencies, where the challenge lies in providing necessary nursing care and teaching health promotion. Profes- sional opportunities in administration, teaching, clinical specialties, and the independent practice of nursing are avilable in the United States and overseas. The qualified student who is interested in people and in pro- viding health care will find a challenging, individualized role in the nursing profession. Valrie Rudge, Assoc.
