The School of Nursing offers a Baccalaureate degree in nursing which is fully
accredited by the National League for Nursing.  Students are admitted to the School of
Nursing from different levels of achievement and academic backgrounds.
Our commitment remains constant to educating students whose promise of an
education may be inhibited by a lack of economic, social, and educational opportunities.
The School of Nursing prides itself on producing qualified and compassionate nurses
with the willingness and commitment to improving and changing the lives of others and
builds upon and provides the ability to explore the innumerable opportunities available
within the nursing field. 

The philosophy of the School of Nursing presents an interactive system that
conceptually involves:  human beings, the environment, health/illness, professional
nursing, and professional nursing education.  Baccalaureate nursing education provides
a basis for understanding human beings and the cultivation of intellectual and
technological skills.  It also provides the professional skills that promote a basis for
clinical judgment.  The examination of the learner's own values and beliefs and the
understanding and respect for others in a multicultural society adds to personal as well
as professional development.

Currently, the program offers three areas of acceptance to obtain a Bachelors degree in
Nursing:  the traditional BSN program, the RN-BSN program, and the Surgical
Technician to BSN program.
