School of Nursing
HISTORY
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
Consistent 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 survival as a profession has to do with society's perception of the effectiveness with which it serves the nursing needs of society.
Education involves the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes within a framework of democratic practice which encourages free inquiry. Essential to all effective education is self-involvement and self-management within the student's competence. Learning experiences should be planned to achieve integration, sequencing and continuity of knowledge, skills and attitudes defined by the objectives.
PROGRAMS
INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF NURSING 17 Graduate education in nursing differs from graduate education in general in its professional applicability. 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 the highly skilled and self-directed practitioner in a selected area of nursing who can exercise effective leadership in the development of nursing theory, the improvement of nursing practice, and the investigation 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 change; trusting that reasonable solutions to problems will prevail; and by 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 that section of the Bulletin.
