The VA Boston Nursing Professional Practice Model reflects our enduring commitment to delivering exemplary, Veteran‑Centered Care grounded in the VA I‑CARE values. Represented by a five‑point star, the model highlights the essential domains that guide our nursing practice: Supportive Work Environment, Nursing Stewardship, Continuum of Care, Interprofessional Practice, and Advancing Nursing Knowledge. These core elements are encompassed by an outer ring symbolizing the holistic dimensions of health—Physical, Psychological, Spiritual, and Whole Health—affirming our dedication to caring for Veterans as whole persons. Developed through the collaboration and expertise of the Nursing Professional Practice Model Task Force, this model strengthens our shared vision for nursing excellence across VA Boston.
