Likewise, nursing education offers opportunities for the continued growth of professional nurses through advanced study. The nurse enters into the health experience of the individual with the knowledge, skill, ability, and personal qualities of warmth, empathy and congruence necessary to make the possibility of transpersonal healing a reality. Thus, our curriculum focuses on the development of understanding and skill in application of each pattern of knowing especially as it relates to caring behaviors, actions, and therapeutic nursing interventions. Nursing education attends to the support and further development of the qualities of warmth, empathy, and congruence requisite for the creation of a caring context. Nursing education provides an opportunity for the development of critical thinking to encourage innovation and inquiry, as well as carefulness, accuracy, and precision.

The faculty accepts the responsibility for the selection and progression of students and for developing, implementing, and systematically evaluating the programs to enhance nursing education and practice.
