Whether they bike, hike, raft, run or just sit in the sun, our nurses find common cause in transforming patient care and the freedom to map careers that fit their unique talents and desires. Nursing LeadersĪscension Seton’s nurses come from all walks of life, all parts of the world. Additionally, nursing practice directors analyze the potential impact of regulatory requirements, policies, new processes and procedures through Ascension Seton’s shared governance structure, and work closely with other departments to respond to these changes. Nursing Practice directors provide consultation and guidance on issues impacting the practice of nursing at each of our health care facilities. In exchange for the trust society grants through licensure, Ascension Seton nurses take personal responsibility to maintain competency in practice through continuing education and assume responsibility and accountability for individual nursing judgments and actions. Nursing care is given with honor and respect for the inherent worth and respect of each individual regardless of resources, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, race, religion or health condition.
The focus of professional nursing practice is to provide excellence in holistic (mind, body, spirit) care to individuals, families and communities throughout the health care continuum. PhilosophyĪscension Seton nurses believe that nursing is an applied art and science. VisionĪscension Seton nursing is a core strategy of Ascension Seton’s ministry to meet the complex health care needs of Central Texans, with a special concern for those traditionally not served or underserved. The mission of nursing at Ascension Seton is to employ innovative and transformational leadership within the network and the community to ensure the highest quality of patient care and optimal health outcomes for those we serve.
