Our mission is to prepare graduates to practice in a complex and ever-changing health care environment with a solid base in liberal education.
The mission of the Endicott College School of Nursing reflects that of the College, to prepare graduates to practice in a complex and ever-changing health care environment with a solid base in liberal education. Curriculum integration of global healthcare issues and cultural concepts will insure that students can participate in society as educated, culturally competent, and socially responsible individuals who respect others and the environment and who are accountable to protect and promote the well-being of those assigned to their care. Inherent in this mission is that the student will remain a self-learner throughout the lifespan, committed to both personal and professional development. Preparation for practice is based on evidence-based theoretical knowledge and structured, supervised clinical instruction. The educational process incorporates the student as an active participant in the care of the patient with an emphasis on patient -centeredness, quality and safety. Through the use of innovative teaching approaches and technology, a collaborative and interactive classroom environment is created in which students are encouraged to become self-learners, responsible for the depth and breadth of their acquired knowledge. The professional standards of nursing will provide the foundation for the development of critical thinking skills, leadership skills, ethical reasoning, and therapeutic communication skills. Endicott College School of Nursing is dedicated to educating the nurse of the future with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide patient-centered, quality and safe care in a diverse healthcare environment.
