Nursing

The Department of Nursing offers an upper–division Baccalaureate nursing program that is designed exclusively for registered nurses.  It is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission*.  The curriculum is planned to maximize the strengths that the registered nurse brings to the baccalaureate program. The program focuses upon the utilization of nursing theory; the promotion, restoration, and maintenance of health for clients; the development of critical thinking and decision-making skills; and the development of leadership skills appropriate to beginning professional practice.

The research process as it relates to nursing is taught and utilized throughout the program.  Clinical experiences are provided at a variety of health care settings under the direction of the nursing faculty.
