The goal of nursing includes assisting the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities which contribute to attaining an optimum level of wellness. The role of the nurse is to act as manager, educator, and professional provider of care in a rapidly changing health care environment. The nursing program prepares its graduates to utilize the nursing process in giving health care to individuals. Separate application must be made to the nursing program. Applications are accepted from January 20 to March 1 of each year and are available in the Dean of Allied Health's office.
Specific information is available in the application and the handbook and from the program director.
