In keeping with the faculty's philosophy of nursing, the curriculum focuses on the nature of nurse's role and the nature of the nursing practice within the health care network. The faculty believe that Regis University graduates should be liberally educated adults who are competent, caring, professional nurses. The Department of Nursing faculty maintain high expectations for Regis University students. Faculty promote the attainment of knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career as a professional nurse and an appreciation for the continual search for truth, values, and a just existence. After successfully completing the requirements for the Department of Nursing and Regis University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is awarded.
Professional nursing is an important and rewarding career.
Regis University graduates are also prepared to work in many new and modified roles with changed professional practice expectations in public health, ambulatory care, nursing home, extended care, assisted living, occupational health, home health, and other community based settings. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree also provides a solid foundation of the pursuit of graduate studies for those who wish to advance in the profession.
