The faculty of the College of Nursing aspires to launch our students into a world of opportunities for confronting the greatest health challenges through undaunted service to society, research, and scholarship.
The faculty is committed to designing and implementing curricula in which students develop critical thinking, decision-making skills, clinical judgment, cultural sensitivity, and professional values and ethics in an increasingly complex health care system.
Our formal and continuing education programs encourage self-directed learning for life-long professional development, enable the assimilation of new knowledge and new technologies to create and maintain required skills, and promote understanding of the changing environments in which professional nursing is practiced.
We believe the standards and excellence of nursing practice are derived from evidenced-based research, theoretical application, continuous self-evaluation of clinical outcomes, identification and resolution of practice issues, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
