Lakeview College of Nursing aspires to be the College of choice for professional nursing in Illinois and recognized nationally for nursing excellence. Adaptability is the process of modifying behavior as indicated to changing circumstances, as evidenced by flexibility and accommodation of changing, evolving, and unpredictable situations involving self, individuals, families, groups, and communities. Adaptability is the nurse's ability to respond quickly to unexpected events, utilize problem-solving, contribute to innovative solutions, and think creatively. Adaptability is building a sense of community within and outside the College through understanding and appreciating a diverse, multicultural society.

Caring as a central paradigm of nursing enables one to transcend the self and serve all people. Caring considers the holistic nature of people and the complexity of the human condition. In care, the nurse demonstrates a commitment to the welfare of self, individuals, families, groups, and communities. Caring is viewed as attitudes, behaviors, and values that take on a spiritual dimension. Attitudes and values that send a message of support, empathy, genuineness and commitment to another are integral to this concept.

Excellence is the quality of being superior or very good at what one does and applying that quality in all actions to generate optimal and recognizable outcomes. Excellence is represented by implementing quality improvement initiatives, purposeful management of resources, promotion of lifelong learning, and fostering care delivery models that raise the level of nursing practice.

Integrity is the commitment, even in adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Integrity demonstrates trustworthiness by being honest, dependable, and reliable, along with applying ethical standards of the profession.

Service is selfless, giving others benefits to individuals, families, groups, communities, and society. Central to this concept reflects the experience, which offers the opportunity to discover which practices can influence particular outcomes.
