The results are summarized as follows;
1. Philosophy of nursing
Through the education imbued with "Love in Deed and Truth", the nursing faculty assumes responsibility for promoting effective nursing for the public and for establishing the students value system based on humanistic existentialism. We realize the education for the whole person grounded on the nature of nursing which is to respect diginity and rights of man to be unristricted by consideration of nationality, race, colour or social status.

3. The student
They were admitted to their university without previous guidance of their major, because the motives of application to study was simply decided according to the grades of entranceexam. The higher their grades were, the more they satisfied with their major and they had a better prospects about their specialty. Self-concept in home aspects was more positive perception than in social aspects and self control aspects.

2) The theoretical system of nursing curriculum was based on system theory. Input for the nursing system comprised educational philosophy and goals. Throughput consisted of body of knowledge. Output comprised the behaviors and skills of nursing.
In conclusion, philosophy of nursing based on the philosophy of the university and the philosophical agreements of the faculty was accomplished through this study. The philosophy´of nursing, the setting, the student and the knowledge, was developed as a conceptual framework.
Therefore, the subsequent study for the course to vivify and to evaluate is indispensable for curriculum building.
