Nursing encourages a holistic, interactive approach requiring a commitment to the value of caring, communication, collaboration, theoretical knowledge, critical thinking and clinical competence for implementation of the nursing process. Nursing practice is based on standards and legal and ethical considerations formulated by the profession and implemented through the nursing process.
