Nursing

The College's faculty and staff are committed to educating nurses to think critically, make evidenced-based decisions and practice competently and compassionately in rapidly changing practice environments. To this end, the College supports faculty and staff in developing strong education, practice and research programs that demonstrate the efficacy, quality and cost effectiveness of nursing interventions in promoting health, preventing disease and caring for the ill.

All nursing efforts in the College are designed to build nursing knowledge, enhance nursing practice, foster professional integrity, and ultimately improve the health outcomes of patients, families and communities across the continuum of care.

The College is committed to excellence in nursing education through educational programs that are:

• Rigorous: We continuously review and redesign programs, courses and educational products for depth and quality with the learner's experience and background always in the foreground. A significant percentage of full time faculty practice as part of their academic workload and serve as excellent role models for developing clinicians. In addition, a growing number of full time faculty are engaged in research activities.
  
• Relevant: We continuously examine changing market forces, the progression of nursing knowledge and best practices in health care and education to redesign educational programs and products. There is a strong commitment to population focused practice in diverse, urban communities.
• Learner Friendly: In consideration of the demanding, fast-paced lives of our students and nurse consumers, we offer educational programs in convenient and contemporary formats including access to academic and continuing education web-based courses.
