The faculty of the Georgia State University School of Nursing believe that the phenomenon of concern for nursing is the care of human beings from the perspective of health.
Health is a reflection of evolving patterns of human-environment interactions.
Health care is viewed as a fundamental right of all people. Nursing is an art and science focused on the improvement of health and health care. Faculty believe education is a mutual process that nurtures and facilitates growth for all participants in the learning community. Faculty are committed to creating an environment in which diversity is embraced as a source of strength, life experiences are valued, critical thinking is fostered, a variety of ways of knowing are acknowledged, and participants are supported in realizing their potential.
