School of Nursing
The vision of Monroe's School of Nursing is to provide excellence in teaching and scholarship, and support aspiring nursing professionals to enhance the health of our community.
The School of Nursing faculty is committed to achieving excellence in education and patient care based upon our beliefs of nursing care, culturally competent nursing care, and teaching and life-long learning as described below:
- Nursing Care: Nursing affects the care of persons for the purposes of illness prevention, maintenance and/or restoration of health. Within the framework of the nursing process of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation, a holistic and evidence-based approach to nursing care is created. The goal is to care for the person--psychological, emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual.
- Culturally Competent Nursing Care: It is the belief of the School of Nursing faculty that an increasingly diverse patient population requires the integration of cultural competence into all aspects of nursing care. Nurses provide care freely without judgment or prejudice. Nurses respect the dignity and physical and emotional wholeness of every person, value the differences among persons, and implement person-centered cultural care. Nurses reflect on their biases for self-awareness and to understand the needs and sensitivity of persons from other cultures. The faculty believes that the nursing program has a responsibility to educate students in culturally competent nursing care through self-assessment; knowledge and respect of different cultures and ethnicities; understanding of the disparities in healthcare; comprehensive cultural assessment of individuals, families and communities; competencies to communicate with individuals, families, and groups with diverse language and cultural backgrounds; identification of resources; and an understanding of the advocacy role of nursing. By embracing diversity, we strengthen nursing education that promotes culturally sensitive care for all human beings.
- Teaching and Life-Long Learning: The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) Healthcare Core Competencies and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Competencies (QSEN) establish the standards for nurses to provide patient-centered care, work effectively on inter-professional teams, employ evidence-based practice, learn the quality improvement process, provide safe nursing care, and utilize healthcare informatics. The curriculum is organized to attain student learning outcomes based on the IOM and QSEN core competencies, which serve as the foundation to design, implement, and evaluate the curriculum. Courses in science and liberal arts provide students with a broad knowledge base for nursing practice. Course content and learning experiences build upon previous levels of knowledge and experience. Faculty use various methods and strategies to teach the nursing process, provision of holistic nursing care, patient teaching, patient safety, prevention of medication errors, evidence-based practices, critical thinking and clinical judgement, communication, role of the nurse, professionalism, and ethical /legal practice. Emphasis is placed on the importance of lifelong learning to keep current with the latest knowledge and advances in healthcare to achieve performance improvements.
