The nursing profession exists to assist patients and clients in reaching their health objectives. Nurses deliver healthcare services to individuals, families, and communities through supportive, preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitative measures. They work in both institutional environments and community healthcare settings, implementing health interventions either independently or as part of a collaborative healthcare team.
California State University San Marcos structures its nursing program around a self-care framework. This approach recognizes that individuals generally possess the ability to meet their own health requirements. However, when factors like illness, injury, or limited health knowledge create barriers, nursing professionals step in to help restore self-care capabilities. This assistance focuses on promoting wellness, maintaining health, and facilitating recovery.
