Our vision
Honoring the College’s tradition of preparing students to serve the world, the nursing program is guided by a vision of nursing preparation and clinical practice rooted in democratic values and ideals. Professional nurses must be agents of change who recognize the societal purpose of nursing and who act on the potential of the discipline to transform society. Professional nurses value diversity, exhibit ethical behavior, promote social justice, and recognize and act on the belief that all individuals deserve competent and compassionate care.
