The life and training at Shawndene will be more than just a two year Course. It will be something very special and very different. At a time when family structures are breaking down; when social problems are ever apparent; nurses at Shawndene will find an atmosphere and ethos that will be both exceptional and precious. Each will be valued and appreciated; each will learn to recognise in the other a sense of worth and value. Respect and care for each member will be paramount. Christian values and standards will be the foundation upon which and from which everything else will flow and function.

Many can look back over their years of training in many fields and walks of life, and will realise just how influential they have been. How important therefore that the training that we provide today will reflect those principles and values.
