Department of Nursing
Cheryl B. Crotser, Ph.D., Chair
The Department of Nursing offers the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing. In addition to the traditional undergraduate Nursing major, the Department offers a Traditional RN to BS Completion Program, a non-traditional Modular RN to BS Completion Program, an online RN-BS Completion Program, a Master of Science degree with a major in Nursing Leadership and Administration, a Master of Science degree with a major in Nursing Education, and Advanced Certificates in Nursing Leadership and Administration and Nursing Education. Nursing is one of the essential health professions designed to serve people without regard to color, race, creed, or economic status in their place of residence or work, or in community institutions or agencies. Men and women with Christian ideals and values, prepared in a balanced program of liberal and professional education, are well equipped to contribute meaningfully to meeting the health needs of the community.
The faculty view students and clients as wholistic, unique spiritual beings and see professional nurses as leaders within the health care system promoting wholeness of individuals, families, groups, and communities. The faculty believe that caring and the relationship formed between the nurse and client are central to nursing, for they create an environment that enables clients to progress toward wholeness.
