We believe that nursing occupies a unique and privileged position of influence and trust in efforts to improve human health. Our core values — scholarship, leadership and social responsibility provide us with the foundation to shape the future of caring and health. Faculty, students and staff are collaborative partners in this effort. Their uniqueness and diversity enable the creation of a dynamic and creative learning environment that fosters professional development of integrity, commitment and respect.

Through our commitment to scholarship, we engage in dynamic inquiry and teaching. We advance knowledge that transforms health and health care in local, national, and international communities. We create innovative learning experiences, grounded in evidence-based pedagogy focused on the development of the intellectual skills of engagement, reflection, inquiry and collaboration.

Through our commitment to leadership, we set the agenda for positive social change directed toward the improvement of human health. As leaders, we are guided by the historical roots of the nursing profession. We believe that our unique role at Brightmed is to develop innovative and ethical leaders in practice, teaching, science, and service who are well equipped to transform health care and the professional practice of nursing.

Through our commitment to social responsibility, we collaborate with a broad range of partners to advocate for equity, access, and justice. We work collaboratively across health care settings, disciplines, and local, national and international boundaries to improve the health and well-being of the individuals, families, and populations we serve

At Brightmed Health Institute, we want our home health and nursing programs to help the students acquire the relevant job knowledge and experience to enter this rewarding field. Through group discussions, lectures, innovative teaching methods and hands-on laboratory training, they will have a chance to develop the skills that could help them stand out in the job market and make a difference in patients’ lives.
