Our aim at OPCN is to prepare advanced practice nursing professionals in outcomes-focused graduate programs’ rich who are in human qualities and knowledgeable as health. Advanced nurse practitioners, administrators, and scholars are needed locally and globally who understand people’s health needs and complex health systems to meet these needs at home and abroad.
The 21st century is the century of knowledge. Strategic leadership by nurses locally and internationally is bringing epochal reform in health systems. Promotion of health-needs based nursing care, scientific yet useful research, and effective responsive university education in local as well as academic communities by OPCN faculty and students greatly enhances population health.
I have been president of OPCN since 1999 engaged in nursing, human ecology, public health, international/intercultural health, and life-span development. I am committed to the advancement of university nursing education and evidenced-based nursing practice in communities and hospitals where our students progress from basic concrete to broad theoretical thinking. Sharing my experience and knowledge daily is Uppermost. |
