Nursing Mission, Vision and Values
The nursing team at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset embraces the mission, vision, and values of the hospital.
Nursing Professional Practice Model
Rooted in Caring
The Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset Professional Practice model, “Our Caring Tree,” represents the Ten Carative Factors of the nursing professional practice model defined by Jean Watson, RN, PhD. This approach sees nursing as a human science that focuses on the process of caring for individuals, families and groups. Through caring transactions, nurses assist people in gaining a higher degree of harmony within the mind, body and soul. The tree image represents how nurses are rooted in excellence and continually seek to transform, empower and inspire. It reflects nurse, patient and family relationships, the foundations of professional practice, the standards of care that ensure a nurturing environment and the shared governance structure that supports patient care delivery.
