ABOUT THE NURSING PROGRAM [ Philosophy | Mission | Goals | Accreditation ] The Mission of the Department of Nursing The Salve Regina University Department of Nursing, echoing the University’s mission and the tradition of Mercy, seeks to create a supportive learning community for students from all backgrounds and beliefs. The Department of Nursing endeavors to develop professional nurses who are liberally educated, ethically reflective, clinically competent, and committed to human service and social justice. The Department of Nursing facilitates students’ capacity to care for others as they advocate and provide for wholeness and healing through service to humankind. Building upon a broad base of liberal arts and the sciences and the art of caring and healing, faculty use a discrete body of knowledge, theory, and research to assist students to develop professional nursing skills and engage in life-long learning. 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 with health care providers across settings to facilitate access and provision of appropriate health care services. Nursing students learn to employ appropriate professional nursing roles to meet the complex health care needs of the patients they serve and to work in health care partnerships as they strive to enhance today’s health care delivery system. Acknowledging the direction of the American Nursing Association (ANA) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the Department introduces students to the essential knowledge, values, and competencies in order to think critically and make sound judgments, communicate effectively, assess and intervene therapeutically as professional nurses. The graduates of the program are ready to provide care at a novice level, and anticipate that they will continue to develop personally and professionally as health care providers and members of the global health partnership.
