Vision and Goals
Vision
The overarching goal of the School of Nursing is to shape the future of nursing education, research and practice. To that end, the faculty have accepted “Shaping the future of nursing today” as the school’s motto.
Goals
- To expand undergraduate and graduate programs while ensuring high-quality student-centered educational programs.
- To increase nursing research to advance the science of nursing and to support UNLV's movement toward research-extensive status.
- To ensure culturally competent evidence-based nursing (EBP) practice.
- To develop partnerships to improve community health outcomes through teaching, research, and service activities.
- To increase community presence and enhance the financial resources of the School of Nursing.
Philosophy
We value the needs of learners, health care consumers and stakeholders in the development and revision of programs and initiatives.
The program fosters interprofessional practice and professional development in response to the changing health care needs of the community.
The primary responsibility for acquiring nursing knowledge, skills, and attitudes belongs with the learner. The teacher acts as a facilitator and resource by creating, organizing and maintaining a supportive learning environment.
