Exemplary Professional Practice Councils

Misson/Purpose

UCLA nurses deliver exemplary nursing care to our patients, their families and the community. Our professional practice model is built around this focus and illustrates how nurses live the mission, vision and values of the organization, as well as national professional standards in their practice. A strong foundation in relationship-based care delivery enables UCLA nurses to form essential therapeutic relationships with patients and families, and strong team relationships with colleagues. UCLA nurses practice the art and science of nursing in fulfilling the roles of practitioner, leader, scientist and transferor of knowledge to continuously improve the practice environment, the health care system and outcomes for individual patients.
