The mission of the Division of Nursing is to provide Christian nursing education designed to prepare graduates for service to God and humanity at the entry level of professional nursing. In this endeavor, students integrate faith and learning as they investigate the concepts of Person, Health, Environment and Nursing. Students develop critical thinking abilities as practitioners, client educators, research utilizers, change agents and patient advocates in a variety of settings. Throughout the life cycle, each person, family and community must adapt to a changing environment and establish health priorities based on needs, perceptions, resources and life experiences.
Health is a quality present in persons, families and communities.
Health is perceived and valued differently. Health is dynamic. Health is defined by persons, families and communities.
