Nursing at BCC
Nursing combines science and the art of working with people.
Nurses are integrally involved in the lives of their clients, helping them to maximize
their health and cope with illness. Nurses perform multiple roles in the care of their
clients. Not only do they provide hands-on care, they also act as educators, counselors,
coordinators and conciliators.
Using scientific knowledge and technical skills, nurses continually assess the physical,
emotional and social status of their clients. Nurses work with clients and their families
to devise plans of care for each situation. As they continually monitor client progress,
they make important decisions about appropriate methods to deal with problems.
