HISTORY
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
The survival of a profession is related to society's perception of the effectiveness with which it meets society's nursing needs. Education implies the development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes within a framework of democratic practices that encourage free inquiry. Essential to all effective education is self-involvement and self-direction within the competence of the student.
Historically, postgraduate education was based on undergraduate liberal education and was guided by the content of the disciplines that made up its components and by emerging developments in the society of which it was a part. 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 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. The philosophy and goals of the Associate of Arts program appear in this section of the Bulletin.
ACCREDITATION AND MEMBERSHIPS
The faculty believes that the teaching process should provide opportunities for students to achieve the defined objectives. The learning-student process should include the opportunity for teacher-student interaction in selecting and evaluating learning experiences and evaluating student progress and teaching methods. Independent and self-directed study and self-realization should be promoted in an educational climate of acceptance that will enhance a successful educational process.
The University Hospitals Nursing Service is a member of the Council of Hospital and Related Institutional Nursing Service, National League for Nursing.
