Nursing Care Model

The Nursing Model of Care places the patient in the center of all we do. The model is based on Virginia Henderson's theoretical framework. Each nurse strives to exemplify practice excellence described in the seven attributes of the Northwestern Memorial nurse:

• Advocate
• Autonomous
• Collaborative
• Compassionate
• Dynamic
• Knowledgeable
• Professional
  

Participation in decision making and professional development are cornerstones of the nursing model of care.
