Monmouth Medical Center’s
Nursing Professional Practice Model
Nursing practice is centered on self, the patient, family, and community by adhering to evidence-based practices that enhance the quality and safety of the care that is provided. In December, the Professional Practice Model was updated in 2021 by consensus vote of the Shared Governance Councils. The change reflects Monmouth Medical Center’s innate ability to adapt to the professional landscape.
