The Nursing Program provides for the preparation of professional nursing and leads to a
Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The program aims to promote the development of
professional nurse generalists through wholistic, goal-directed experiences in nursing
education and nursing practice with the active participation of faculty and students in
the fellowship of learning. Nursing is viewed as a wholistic approach to the process and
practice of nursing as a healing ministry to meet the health needs of individuals,
families, and groups in the community. This wholistic approach emphasizes the
interrelationship of physical, social, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual
well-being of persons from conception to death.
The Nursing Program provides a sound base of knowledge in the biological and social
sciences. This strong academic foundation prepares the student to meet the challenge of
professional nursing in today's society. Clinical experience in medical, surgical,
psychiatric, obstetrics, pediatrics, and community health are gained in a variety of
health facilities in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The student is prepared for
graduate study and the professional role by intensified senior level courses in Nursing
Research, Leadership, and Advanced Medical/Surgical Nursing.
