Southern Arkansas University (Department of Nursing)
Welcome to Southern Arkansas University’s Nursing Program. We, the faculty, feel you have selected the most challenging, rewarding and versatile career available today.
We believe that a Nurse is one who possesses considerable knowledge of the basic physical, biological, behavioral, and medical sciences, plus the ability and skill to apply this knowledge in caring for patients with common nursing problems. This requires decision-making ability and sound judgment.
We dedicate our time and effort to offer you those experiences that will assist you in reaching this goal. The learning experiences will be available; it is your responsibility to take advantage of them.
SAU provides equal educational opportunities for all and this policy is fully implemented in all programs according to University guidelines.
