Nursing A.S.

Mission 

Philosophy 

We believe nursing is both an art and a science that: 

• integrates theoretical knowledge, critical thinking/clinical judgment, and skill competence 

• is compassionate, caring, and holistic with the patient at the center 

• is based on a foundation of integrity as well as ethical, legal, and moral accountability. 

• We believe in a nursing education in which: 

• the learning experience is a collaboration between the program faculty and their students 

• education is a partnership involving shared accountability between faculty and students 

• student success is accomplished by accountability as well as nurturing, trusting, and caring relationships 

• there is a commitment to providing a variety of resources and active learning experiences to support individual learning preferences 

• students are encouraged to be lifelong learners 

• there are open lines of communication which are professional and respectful
