HISTORY
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF NURSING 17 In accordance with the goals and ideals of Indiana University, the faculty accepts its primary responsibility for the effective education of the men and women who are its students. The faculty accepts the basic principle, embodied in the goals and ideals of the university, that a school is not merely an association of teachers, but rather consists of scholars who are effective teachers. Its continued existence as a profession is tied to society's perception of the effectiveness with which it serves the nursing needs of society.
Education means the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes within democratic practices that encourage free inquiry. Essential to any effective education is self-inclusion and self-direction within the student's abilities. Learning experiences should be designed to achieve integration, sequencing and continuity of knowledge, skills and attitudes defined by objectives.
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. The disciplines that make up the subject content of postgraduate education in nursing are those that are relevant to the theory and practice of nursing and to the current and future role of nursing in society's health systems. 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 by the activities of the members of that society; upon acceptance of change; trusting that reasonable solutions to problems will prevail; and by the conviction that power and authority are always relative to the consent of the governed. The philosophy and goals of the Associate of Arts program appear in this section of the Bulletin.
