  1. PHILOSOPHY.

The humanistic learning theory will underpin the education and training of students which focuses on the specific human capabilities like creativity, personal growth and choices and believe that people are noble and good. Watson’s theory of caring will be used as the fulcrum of our curriculum which sees nursing as being concerned with promoting health, preventing illness, caring for the sick and restoring health. These will be the basis of our conceptual framework

EMI holds the believe that and attests to WHO definition that “Health “is a state of mental, physical, spiritual and social well-being and not merely the absence of a disease or infirmity and is a fundamental human right for individuals, families and communities.

The client is a bio-psychosocial and spiritual human being interacting with others in the environment and the environment is a setting where the nurses and the client interact to promote the health of individuals, families.

 

Our institution believes firmly that Nursing is an integral part of health care system which encompasses the promotion of health, prevention of illness and care of the physically and mentally ill, people with different abilities and the dying of all ages in all health care and community settings regardless of colour, sex. Race, creed and social standing, nurses perform independent, dependent and interdependent functions as members of a health care system.

Eureka Medical Institute underscores that education and learning take place in an environment that supports and promotes the growth and self-sufficiency of individual learners as beginning professionals and lifelong learners, it is a multifaceted process that results in the acquisition and integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes.

EMI holds the philosophy that competency-based teaching and learning are based on a positive learning environment that accommodates cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of learning. 

That the nursing profession is practiced according to professional, ethical, moral and legal codes, regulations and scope of practice.

EMI students and the entire workforce believe that the Nursing Profession upholds the fundamental human rights and freedoms as enshrined in the constitution of the Republic of Namibia.

That the responsibility of the lecturer is to guide in the development of skills, knowledge, attitude and attributes through the application of various teaching methodologies in both practical and theoretical settings so that they can become competent and compassionate nurses.
