Values
We are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of nursing practice and education. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our rigorous academic programs, evidence-based practice, certifications, alignment with core competencies, and ongoing professional development. By fostering a culture of accountability, ethical practice, flexibility, and lifelong learning, we ensure that our graduates are equipped to provide exemplary care and lead with integrity within healthcare system
We are committed to fostering a learning and working environment that embraces and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We strive to dismantle systemic barriers and promote health, equity, social justice, and decolonization by integrating inclusive practices into our curriculum, research, and clinical practice. Our goal is to create a space where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives to the learning, education, and research spaces we share.
We aim to anticipate and address challenges in healthcare by fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. By staying ahead of emerging trends and adapting to changes in the healthcare landscape, we prepare our students to become forward-thinking leaders. Our proactive approach ensures that we provide impactful education and research and deliver high-quality care that meets the evolving needs of our communities.
We cultivate partnerships with students, faculty, healthcare professionals, alumni, and the community to have strategic conversations which lead to strategic actions. We will build on this integrated network of partnerships through open communication and mutual respect to foster an environment where collaboration thrives, enhancing learning and improving patient care.
Recognizing the journey to reconciliation is not linear but involves acknowledging our truths while initiating and restoring relations with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. With consultation, the Faculty of Nursing has begun to weave Indigenous pedagogies and ways of knowing into our curriculum. We are committed to continuing and leading this practice at the University of Windsor. We will continue to seek equitable and reciprocal ways to collaborate with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities to guide our practice, scholarship, research, and curriculum moving forward.
Our approach to nursing education and practice prioritizes the needs, preferences, and values of individuals, families, groups, and communities. We recognize the importance of holistic care that respects and responds to the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and health needs of all people—staff, students, faculty, and patients. By placing the person at the heart of our work, we foster compassionate relationships that promote well-being on and off campus.
