The members of the Faculty of Nursing at Langara College aspire to be professional exemplars in teaching, practice, and scholarship with a focus on excellence, integrity, evidence, collaboration, and a commitment to advancing a greater understanding of people’s experiences of health, illness, healing, and health promotion. The philosophical foundations of phenomenology, feminism, critical social theory, post-colonialism, empiricism, and humanism form the basis of the curriculum. The meta-concepts of health promotion and caring are influenced and informed by these philosophical foundations.
The Faculty of Nursing has received a seven-year recognition from the British Columbia College of Nursing and Midwives. This is the longest recognition awarded by the provincial regulatory body. Faculty and students engage in a variety of academic activities including presenting papers and posters at local, provincial, and national conferences.
