The discipline of nursing

November 17th, 2009 by admin | Filed under nurse


The discipline of nursing is concerned with how nurs¬es interact with people in relation to their health and within their total environment. Nursing at its core is caring for people within their health experience. The effec¬tive nurse is able to think critically, feel deeply, communicate clearly, interact meaningfully, assume responsibility, exhibit a thirst for knowledge and act morally.

EMU nursing graduates are generalists prepared to func¬tion as beginning practitioners in a variety of settings with a focus on individuals, families, or groups of clients. They have the capacity to develop a personal art of nursing that grows from an excellent knowledge base, their own personal resources, a sense of the sacred in moments and places and a profound sense of respect for all people. Graduates are self-directed and engage in continual learning and develop¬ment. They are accountable for their own actions but work collaboratively with clients, other health team members, and communities within which they practice. As profession¬als, they seek to improve health care by promoting justice through involvement in church, community, political and professional organizations and activities.

The nursing concepts of health, person, environment and nursing provide a framework for the nursing program at EMU. The processes of problem-solving, decision-making, teaching and relating interpersonally are emphasized through¬out the program. Relationships with clients/patients are viewed within a sacred covenant framework. This approach reminds nurses of the holy nature of our calling and vocation within a faith context. Faculty in the nursing department believe in the interdependence of a covenant relationship between faculty and students that fosters personal growth and prepares students to become professional nurses. Mastery-based learn¬ing, within the covenant framework, is facilitated by faculty and students partnering together to enhance learning for students with diverse abilities.

The nursing program is accredited by the Virginia State Board of Nursing and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Upon graduation, individuals are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensing Examination-RN (NCLEX–RN) to become eligible for licensure as registered nurses.

Any student admitted to the univer¬sity may declare a nursing major. Nursing requires a strong background in the natu¬ral sciences, mathematics and the social sciences. Nurses work with complex con¬cepts and ever-changing technologies.
