School of Nursing
HISTORY
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
The faculty believes that the master's program is aimed at the production of researchers who can engage productively in complex intellectual activity for the advancement of knowledge and the solution of social and ethical problems. Historically, the master's program has been based on undergraduate liberal education and has taken its direction from the content of the disciplines that made up its components and from the new developments in the society of which it was a part. Its primary method is the complex intellectual activity characteristic of graduate education in general.
The disciplines that make up the subject content of postgraduate education in nursing are those that relate to the theory and practice of nursing and to the current and future role of nursing in the health systems of society.
PROGRAMS
It is based not only on undergraduate liberal education, but on undergraduate achievement of professional knowledge, attitudes and skills that contribute to the preparation of a professional nurse. Its product is a highly competent and independent practitioner in a chosen field of nursing who can effectively guide the development of nursing theory, the improvement of nursing practice, and the exploration of nursing issues and problems. Democracy is a way of approaching life in a society characterized by growth from within through the activities of the members of that society; by accepting changes; with confidence that reasonable solutions to problems will prevail; and with the belief that power and authority are always relative to the consent of the governed.
