The NAU nursing program is demanding but rewarding.
Success depends on the demonstration of competency, critical thinking, and caring.
Competency -the ability to plan and carry out knowledgeable, efficient, and safe nursing care, while remaining aware of one's own limitations. Critical Thinking -using knowledge from the natural, behavioral, social, and nursing sciences, and the humanities to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care. Caring -the protection, enhancement, and preservation of human dignity within the cultural context of the individual. Clinical Experiences Clinical experiences round out the educational preparation of our students. Students participate in health-care delivery settings statewide to broaden their professional nursing knowledge.
