ABOUT THE NURSING PROGRAM


PHILOSOPHY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING

Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations. (ANA, 2003, p. 6) Nursing is a learned profession built upon a core body of knowledge reflective of its dual components of science and art. Nursing requires judgment and skill based upon principals of the biological, physical, behavioral, and social sciences. Nursing is a scientific discipline as well as a profession. (ANA, 2004, p. 10).

Faculty respect human diversity as reflected in the design of the program.
