Mission
It is the mission of the Nursing Education program to:
- Transform the lives of nursing students to fulfill the increasingly complex role of entry level professional nurses in the provision of safe, compassionate, culturally sensitive, evidence-based, ethically-grounded, and client-centered care;
- Promote the well-being of a diverse patient population in the evolving healthcare environments of the communities we serve;
- Facilitate academic progression of our students to the baccalaureate level and beyond to meet the healthcare needs of our communities, state, and nation.
This mission is accomplished in our nursing students, patient populations, and nursing profession by:
- Providing a supportive, engaging, and progressive learning environment which fosters:
- professional integrity, leadership, a spirit of inquiry and scholarship, collaborative practice, and a commitment to community service
- development into the culture and profession of nursing through adoption of its values, standards, and codes of conduct, and by positive role-modeling of professional behaviors;
- Preparing well-qualified graduates to meet the needs of a diverse patient population;
- Collaborating with our community and educational partners.
Nursing Program Vision
