BS Nursing
Nursing is both an art and a science. Professional nursing provides comprehensive health care services to clients in an effort to enable them to attain their optimal level of independence and wellness through the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health. Nursing education is an interactive process, allowing the adult learner to incorporate previously learned knowledge, building a strong foundation for providing holistic, outcomes-oriented care. The profession works collaboratively with other members of the healthcare team to facilitate optimal client outcomes. The faculty believes that the baccalaureate degree is the professional degree for nursing, providing the groundwork for the graduate degree.
