The purpose of our nursing programs is to educate nurses to work with individuals, families, groups and communities from a health promotion perspective and with an ethic of caring.

The programs assist students to develop sensitivity to people's experiences with health and healing. Students will learn to work as partners with clients and with other health care providers. Through their understanding of and participation in the changing health care system, graduates will be active participants in creating health for all.
