We believe that the associate degree nurse and the practical nurse are integral members of the health team who provide direct client care. The practical nurse assists with data collection, contributes to the plan of care, performs therapeutic and preventive nursing measures, and assists in evaluating the outcomes of nursing interventions of the client. The practical nurse provides safe and competent client care under the supervision of the registered nurse.
The associate degree nurse provides direct nursing care to clients with common and complex nursing needs which requires judgment and clinical decision-making. Nursing is accountable for nursing practice based on standards of care, scope of practice, and a code of ethics.
The problem-solving methodology of the nursing process provides the basis for all nursing care. Using a holistic approach, nursing assumes an active role in providing care for a multicultural population throughout the life span. Nurses recognize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to implementing quality care in various health care settings.
The Nursing faculty believes that institutions of higher learning should facilitate all nursing education programs. They should also provide opportunities for career mobility from the practical nurse to the associate degree nurse to the baccalaureate degree nurse and to other advanced educational degree nurses.
The faculty are responsible for developing and implementing the curriculum under the direction of the Nursing Program Coordinator. Courses in the curriculum are divided between general education and nursing. Nursing courses provide the learner with an opportunity to apply scientific and humanistic knowledge in order to foster creativity and critical thinking.
The nursing process, as a problem solving method, is taught at all levels of the curriculum. The Nursing faculty recognizes the significance of teaching social and cultural concepts as they relate to individuals. Students are taught to identify the impact cultural issues have on health, health beliefs, and health practices when implementing appropriate nursing interventions.
Nursing theory is correlated with clinical practice through planned experiences in various health care agencies in the community. This practice prepares the student to meet the needs of consumers and to develop an acceptance of professional responsibilities. Opportunities to develop leadership and management skills are also provided in the clinical experience.
The student progresses from the care of individuals having simple nursing needs to the care of individuals with complex nursing needs. We recognize that the students need to have a voice in the educational process. They are prepared to accept responsibility and accountability for their learning now and in the future. They are encouraged to maintain continued professional growth.
Practical nursing education, which is offered within the framework of a community college, is designed as a complete formal education for entry into practical nurse practice.
