The lacks and lapses in current health care delivery models provide opportunities comparable to those that were presented to Florence Nightingale Our goal at Maryville is to prepare nurses who will not only respond to the changing needs of their patients with compassion and competence, but also function successfully in the evolving and complex health care environment. Maryville is exceptionally fortunate to have had a curriculum with a strong community base for several years. The Maryville nursing curriculum prepares women and men to provide promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative professional nursing care to individuals of all ages, to families and to the community. The success of our graduates in a spectrum of professional positions is testimony to the effectiveness of their academic preparation. In addition to providing academic preparation for entry into professional nursing practice, the Maryville Nursing program also provides the student a basis for graduate study.
Many alumni go on to graduate school and earn advanced degrees.
We have the best of all possible educational worlds. We are a small school grounded in the liberal arts where the importance of making a living does not obscure the importance of having a life, where students know the faculty and faculty know the students. We'll be ready for all of those endeavors as well as or the 21st century because students, faculty, staff, alumni, and advisory council of the nursing program are committed to ongoing creation of a community of learners in which thinking is stimulated, curiosity is piqued, involvement is encouraged and an ethic of caring is engendered.
