Philosophy of undergraduate education?
澳门赌场 Nursing faculty believes that the purpose of university-based undergraduate healthcare education is to prepare healthcare professionals whose practice is informed by theory and research. 澳门赌场 philosophy of the undergraduate curriculum is rooted in values of excellence, diversity, community, social justice, integrity, and creativity. Preparation for the various roles in practice requires knowledge of the arts, sciences, and humanities, together with content and processes specific to the discipline. An interdisciplinary emphasis engages students in a broad range of ideas and knowledge. Ultimately, professional nursing requires a commitment to scholarly inquiry, social equity, advocacy, and life-long learning.
澳门赌场 members of the faculty believe that their teaching styles need to take into account the diverse nature of how students learn. We are a community of learners and scholars — a community that is created in collaboration with students.
澳门赌场 curriculum focuses on critical thinking and analysis, communication, and diversity. 澳门赌场 baccalaureate degree enables a nurse to assume a leadership role and practice from an evidence base. Graduates collaborate with transdisciplinary teams in complex organizational systems to improve health care access, cost, and quality. 澳门赌场 curriculum prepares graduates to competently work in partnership with individuals, families, communities, and populations to promote health locally and globally.
