Our Framework for Nursing Practice

Nursing at Northwestern is both a science and an art. Nursing practice is evidence based and blends research, knowledge and technology with individualized, compassionate approaches to care.

Our framework for practice is based on the work of Virginia Henderson and places the patient at the center of care delivery.

We believe in and follow core practice values:

• Patients First
• Nursing Excellence
• Effective Patient Care team
