Description: The MU Nursing Program is centered in human caring. Emphasis is placed on professional nursing studies which prepare students for successful career progression in health care as a registered nurse (RN).

Domains of Learning: Students must be able to perform identified cognitive, psychomotor, and affective nursing skills.

Vision: The MU Nursing Program will provide a learning community of holism which promotes a partnership among administration, faculty, students, nurses, and community associates.

Mission: The MU Nursing Program educates nursing students to be professional, competent, and caring nurses who can think critically, communicate with compassion, and contribute to positive health outcomes for the people they serve.

Philosophy: The MU Nursing Program recognizes the presence of spiritual, cultural, moral, compassionate, and phenomenological differences in the human experience which challenge psychosocial and physiologic well being. It is our philosophy that all nurses are dedicated to serving society for the betterment of global health and wellness.

Program Goals: The program goals for this traditional 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program are:

1. to provide the necessary education for entry level nursing students to successfully achieve a B. S. in Nursing
2. to prepare nursing students to pass the NCLEX-RN licensing examination for registered nurses (RN) upon their first attempt
3. for graduates of the Methodist University BSN program to possess uniquely marketable certifications in order to become gainfully employed as an RN
4. to prepare entry level BSN graduates to contribute needed nursing talent in the face of a world-wide nursing shortage
5. to prepare entry level registered nurses who sustain a career as a nurse past the national rate of RN attrition during year one of employment
