Much emphasis is therefore placed on co-determination and opportunities for the patient s growth through user participation and promotion of health.professional nursing competence builds on a totality of knowledge, attitudes and skills. In addition, development of the nurse s moral responsibility towards the individual and society is considered an important goal. Insight and understanding are developed through knowledge, reflection and critical thinking, and in interaction with the patient and their relatives.the programme s affiliation with the University of Stavanger implies an obvious scientific emphasis.
