The Scott and White School of Nursing has as its purpose to prepare graduates who, as professional nurses, contribute to the health and welfare of the individual, the family, and community. The goals of the program emphasize the preparation of first-level professional nurses who can use Christian principles and the knowledge and skills of the discipline of nursing for persons of all ages adapting to stressors influencing their health status. Graduates are expected to provide leadership in the practice of nursing and use their education as a foundation for life-long learning.
Students gain first-hand knowledge working in the community.
