Curriculum
The curriculum affords opportunities for students to share their concern for others regardless of race, ethnicity or religion and to learn the art of collaboration as they work to promote the health and well-being of a multicultural society.
With the expectation of evidence-based clinical decision-making in nursing practice and the development of information management and leadership skills, the faculty seeks to prepare professional nurses who can partner across settings to facilitate access and provide appropriate health care services. Nursing students learn the professional nursing roles required to meet the complex health care needs of the patients they serve and to work in the health care partnerships of today's health care delivery system.
Acknowledging the direction of the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the department introduces students to the essential knowledge, values, and competencies so they may think critically and may make sound judgments, communicate effectively, assess and then intervene therapeutically as professional nurses. All graduates are prepared to continue to develop personally and professionally as health care providers and members of the global health partnership.
