Graduate Program Philosophy
The curriculum framework of the 91短视频 School of Nursing graduate programs prepares practitioners, professional practice leaders, and nurse scientists in the context of people-centered practices driven by elements of critical social theory across all health and social care systems
Graduate Program Goals
Nursing is a practice discipline. In the Master of Nursing program, scholarship is regarded as the thought and knowledge behind practice, and practice is regarded as scholarship in action. Our advanced nursing practice program recognizes and responds to society鈥檚 need for nurses with specialized and advanced knowledge and skills. The graduate has rigorous academic preparation and strong skills in verbal and written communication, critical analysis, and decision making. These skills can be applied in educational, practice, management, or policy making roles.
To meet these goals, the graduates of the program achieve the following objectives:
- Develop an increased understanding of the social construction of nursing knowledge.
- Synthesize knowledge from nursing and a range of health and other academic disciplines toward enhancing the principles and spirit of primary health care.
- Synthesize theoretical, empirical, and experiential knowledge to become critically reflective and articulate practitioners.
- Demonstrate leadership skills needed to influence change in nursing and health care on a professional, social, and political basis.
- Contribute to ongoing scholarly advancement of nursing knowledge.
- Develop, implement, and evaluate strategies for advanced nursing practice at the client and system level.
