The School of Nursing educates individuals to become registered nurses at the baccalaureate degree level.
Our goal is to graduate competent, visionary Professional Nurse Leaders who are at the forefront of innovative, culturally sensitive healthcare practices that promote human flourishing. The faculty believe that baccalaureate education is the basic preparation for professional nursing practice. As a faculty, our purpose is to prepare Professional Nurse Leaders who are excellent health care providers, engaged with local and global communities, and who serve as advocates for health equity. We are grounded in Mary McLeod Bethune’s holistic merger of academics (Head), skills (Hand), and activism (Heart). We honor her desire that faculty strive to be true to values of the university, maintain a spirit of service, and be comprehensively prepared and effective in our discipline of Nursing. The traditional domains of Nursing: nurse, person, health, and environment, are pillars of our curriculum. Service learning is a vital strategy to prepare students as knowledgeable community leaders. These learning experiences reinforce the values of life-long learning and service.
