Our Story
Our Mission
Our Vision
To become a trusted partner in healthcare education and training and to create a healthcare system where every patient receives the best care, defined by quality, respect, empathy, and compassion.
Our Philosophy
Nursing is a profession that promotes balance between the person and the environment. It involves scientific knowledge and interventions based on evidence, experiences, and research. Nurses implement scientific discoveries and technological advances into professional interventions every day.
As educators, we believe students must receive a view of the past, an experience of the present, and a glimpse of the future. This is possible through nurse educators committed to transforming the future of nursing by teaching the humble origins of nursing and the courageous personalities that struggled to provide quality care amidst the challenges of their time. Quality in Patient Care Inc. is a clinical education provider that promotes cultural competency and portrays honesty, truthfulness, professionalism, ethical behavior, and empathy. We want to instill in every student the desire and excitement of learning by challenging their minds, encouraging research, and developing new theories and policies. We want students to challenge today’s knowledge and to be open to new possibilities.
We want our students to become patient advocates, become their voices, and protect them from harm, malpractice, and maleficence, ensuring their safety. We want our students to empower their patients by helping them make informed consent to take control of their care.
We believe in living what we teach. We will be role models who guide the new generation of nurses in providing professional care while treating patients respectfully and assuring their quality of life and dignity at the end of life. To offer students a meaningful learning experience, we will stay abreast of changes in health care, technology, medicine, and nursing and continue this lifelong commitment to acquiring knowledge.
The history of nursing and nursing education serve as a guiding light into the future. Acknowledging the principles and values important enough to pass on to future nurses will guide clinical educators to provide the best learning experience. If those values are to influence students to develop ethical and professional behavior, then it is worthwhile to model them and instill those principles in their minds and hearts.
Our 10 Tenets
Learning is a lifelong process; educators should be humble enough to recognize knowledge they may lack and acknowledge there are still mysteries to discover and much to be learned. Learning is a quest that will last for the rest of our lives.
Learning experiences are everywhere; students must look for every opportunity to learn and embrace it.
Educators must offer new knowledge with excitement and patience; students must welcome it with eagerness and amazement and receive it with an open heart and mind.
Educators have a great opportunity and privilege to change the future, one student at a time, one mind at a time, one moment at a time.
Educators are like tour guides, leading learners to discover the most beautiful and unique places in their minds.
Every individual is unique. We must recognize, appreciate, and embrace our differences and diversity. We will be more understanding and caring when we look for ways to learn from each other’s history, beliefs, customs, values, and traditions. Embracing our differences will make educators successful and learners wiser.
People learn differently. Learning experiences are offered in various styles to satisfy every learner’s inquisitive mind. Educators must find ways to make the information relevant, exciting, and meaningful. It is not about knowing everything but about understanding concepts better.
Educators are encouragers. They see the possibilities in everyone, helping learners believe in themselves.
Promote education and learning through Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model and Collaborative Inquiry, where “knowledge is created through the transformation of the experience” (DeYoung, 2009) while “learners use experiences to generate new knowledge by action and reflection” (Iwasiw, Goldenberg, and Andrusyszy, 2009).
Educators must strive daily to be competent and knowledgeable to provide the best learning experience possible. We are committed to new learning opportunities, maintaining our education techniques in tune with technological and scientific advances, and bringing nursing alive in the classroom.
The Origin
“In November 2022, my father suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and was transferred to a bigger hospital with limited clinical staff and resources. In less than five days, my father developed a urinary tract infection, pneumonia, influenza, multiple pressure injuries, and a fungal infection in his oral cavity and other areas. After being on a stretcher for 14 days in the emergency department, he was transferred to a nursing home. However, he needed a tube feeding placement. Before placing the feeding tube, he spent 14 more days in another hospital because he was septic. After the feeding tube placement, the nurse gave him medication using the wrong practices, and my father aspirated. He died five days later.
This situation and everything we experienced with the healthcare system drove me to start Quality in Patient Care Inc., a non-profit corporation under Georgia state laws that is also a federally qualified 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.”
