MISSION / OUTCOMES
VISION
The Nursing Department is committed to providing excellence in education that facilitates the development of competent, caring and professional nurses. Faculty, as both nurses and educators, believe that nurses provide patient centered care with quality and safety to improve, maintain and restore the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
MISSION
The Nursing Department is dedicated to the preparation of individuals to meet the health care needs of the public. Graduate nurses will be able to use essential knowledge, attitudes, skills, and technology to meet the healthcare needs of patients, families, and communities while recognizing the need for an individualized plan of care. Faculty members strive to incorporate essential competencies for nurse educators while preparing graduates who will become the future of the nursing profession.
PHILOSOPHY
The Nursing Faculty strive continuously to achieve excellence in nursing education. Nursing Faculty believe that nursing education focuses on the nursing student and the practice of nursing, which centers around the nurse-client relationship and the provision of safe, quality, and evidence based nursing care to achieve desired client outcomes. Interactions between nurse educators (faculty) and learners (nursing students) focus on nursing knowledge while emphasizing the importance of the nursing profession. Nursing knowledge in the curriculum is taught using a traditional medical model while presenting, defining, and integrating concepts to organize information. Nursing students are able to link these concepts throughout the curriculum and learning is facilitated by this process. Programmatic outcomes measure competency in each domain of learning: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Nursing faculty believe excellence in nursing education is achieved through a combined teaching method of both the medical model and nursing concepts, based on the established Core Competencies for Nurse Educators.
The nursing student as a learner must be excited and motivated to increase learning. The learner must possess a spirit of inquiry, a desire for lifelong learning, and a commitment to a career in nursing. Emphasis is placed on student engagement in the learning process and faculty are the facilitators of learning. Students enter the program at different times in their lives and bring diversity and personal experiences that are enhanced through courses in the arts, sciences and humanities. These courses assist in building a foundation of knowledge upon which nursing concepts are added. The integration of a professional knowledge base and behaviors are the expected outcomes of nursing students.
Nursing practice is conceptualized as both an art and a science dedicated to promoting the highest level of health and wellness for a diverse population throughout the lifespan. Nursing professionals identify healthcare problems and use critical thinking skills to build a solid foundation for the direct-care practitioner. In the quest to promote health for individuals, families, and communities, nursing professionals function as advocates, educators, coordinators, and managers in addition to their traditional role as healthcare providers. These roles, combined with nursing knowledge and competence, facilitate the promotion and enhancement of the client’s optimal level of wellness.
The client is viewed as an individual, a family, or a community. Establishing nurse-client relationships is vital so that clients can be encouraged and motivated to acquire knowledge regarding their own level of wellness and the resources available to them. This motivation empowers the client to make autonomous choices regarding healthcare. The client is also encouraged to participate in self-care to reach an optimal state of health and wellness throughout the lifespan.
The curriculum is organized by thirty-nine concepts to introduce disease processes and promote a holistic approach to nursing care. These concepts fall within the headings derived from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing test plan categories. These headings include:
- Safe and Effective Care
- Health Promotion and Maintenance
- Psychosocial Integrity
- Physiological Integrity
Teaching conceptually helps the student link information from all aspects of the curriculum. While learning content, students identify interrelated concepts, or concepts influenced by or dependent on one another.
In addition, the curriculum uses integrated processes also derived from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing test plan. These processes serve as threads throughout all curriculum content and include the following:
- Nursing process
- Caring
- Communication/documentation
- Teaching/learning
- Culture/Spirituality
