Welcome to 51黑料网鈥檚 Graduate (HSU) Nursing Program. You have chosen a career that benefits humanity and society, one that can be expected to offer substantive opportunities if you are willing to meet the academic and professional challenges of advanced practice nursing.
As graduate faculty, we are proud to be professional nurses and are invested in your education and growth in advancing your nursing career. Our goal for you is that you become a superior nursing practitioner, leader or researcher dedicated to a lifetime of caring and continued learning. We will require that you adhere to the highest standards of nursing.
The study of nursing is a rigorous endeavor requiring expert skill in critical thinking and the mastery of a substantive body of knowledge. We hold our graduate students to rigorous expectations, without apology, because the safety of patients is at stake. We hold for ourselves a parallel expectation for instructional excellence and compassion. We know that when the dignity of the student is respected, the learning environment is conducive to best learning outcomes, and the student is much more likely to affirm the dignity of both patients entrusted to their care and colleagues with whom they practice and lead.
We expect an atmosphere of scholarship, civility and dedication to the highest standards of science and ethics in nursing. Study in a university involves active exchange between faculty and students each learning from and teaching the other. This is in agreement with our basic philosophy of nursing and learning as Henderson faculty. We also believe/support the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code for Nurses (2015).
FNP Students: Please review for details regarding Advanced Practice Registered Nursing.
