Department Profile

The Nursing Program is an integral part of the Health Occupations
Division. The mission of the nursing program is to prepare entry
level Registered Nurses to meet the needs of diverse populations in
an ever-changing healthcare environment. The nursing program is
composed of twelve full-time faculty, 20 adjunct faculty, and 140
full-time students. We believe that nursing education is driven by
the application of critical thinking and sound judgment and the
development of teaching/learning strategies using innovative
approaches and evidence-based research. Education is based on
mastery learning and is viewed by the nursing faculty as a
collaborative process involving college administrators and staff,
nursing faculty and nursing students. Each student enters the
nursing program with unique characteristics, capabilities, learning
styles, and motivation for learning. To address learning style
differences, curriculum experiences are structured from simple to
complex and are delivered in varied methodologies to connect with
all learning domains. The program embraces the diversity of
cultural, linguistic and philosophical differences represented in
the student body. Course experiences are designed to encourage
discussion, inquiry, collaboration and application of cultural
practices that are unique to the individuals and groups represented
in the campus and in the community. The goal of the program is to
promote students’ creativeness, critical thinking, clinical
judgment, and personal growth based on successful learning
experiences. Students are expected to participate actively in the
learning process and to positively collaborate with faculty and
student peers. The program is on full approval from the Board of
Registered Nursing and full accreditation from Accreditation
Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
