Oakwood College (Department of Nursing)
The Oakwood College Department of Nursing offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree with a major in nursing with two professional degree options. The generic (four-year) bachelor’s degree option prepares students to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Qualified high school graduates and transfer students from other departments of the college or other regionally accredited educational institutions are eligible to apply to this option. The baccalaureate completion (RN-BS) option provides registered nurses, with an associate degree in nursing or its equivalent, the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree in two academic years. Registered nurses who have completed an associate of science degree in nursing or its equivalent are eligible to apply for admission to the baccalaureate completion option. The department welcomes qualified international students to both options.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM IN NURSING
The curriculum of the bachelor of science degree program in nursing at Oakwood College is organized according to four central concepts: nursing, health, spirituality, and caring. The department supports and implements the college’s mission that embraces a quality Christian education that emphasizes academic excellence; promotes harmonious development of mind, body, and spirit; and prepares leaders for service for God and humanity. The department seeks to provide access to educational opportunities for its students who come from diverse geographical, cultural, educational, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Its programs and activities are unequivocally Christian in character and designed to integrate faith and learning and to prepare individuals for service to God and humanity.
The central concepts of the curriculum are also consistent with the purpose of the baccalaureate nursing program to educate nurses for beginning professional practice in a variety of health care settings. The program is designed to prepare nurses for beginning professional nursing practice through the application of general and professional knowledge to promote, maintain, and restore health in individuals, families, and communities. The concepts selected as central to the curriculum are derived from the philosophy of the nursing program.
