California State University, Los Angeles (School of Nursing)
Nursing is a health care profession which systematically assists patients/clients to achieve health or health-related goals. The focus of nursing has moved away from a disease-oriented to a health promotion system of care and nurses provide health care for individuals, families and communities. It is our belief that students, endowed with the capacity for self-direction, are responsible for their own learning and self-development.
We presently offer a B.S. degree for basic (pre-licensure) and transfer RN students, an M.S. degree for accelerated RNs without a B.S. degree, RNs with a non-nursing B.S. degree and non-RNs with a B.S. or higher degree (ELMN), and a Health Services Credential for School Nurses. Advanced practice options offered in the graduate program include: Nursing Education, Nursing Administration, Psychiatric/Mental Health CNS, Nursing Case Management and four Nurse Practitioner options: primary and acute adult, primary and acute pediatric, family and psychiatric/mental health.
We have a total enrollment of over 300 baccalaureate students and approximately 100 graduate students. There are 20 full-time faculty and additional part-time faculty prepared in various clinical specialties.
MISSION STATEMENT
The faculty of the School of Nursing prepares students for a career in nursing, a health care profession that systematically assists patients/clients to achieve health or health related goals. Faculty articulate a philosophy of nursing that focuses on moving patients/clients from a disease-oriented to a health-oriented system of care in which nurses provide health care for culturally and ethnically diverse individuals, groups, families, and communities in hospitals, homes, and community-based settings. Students
who complete the undergraduate program will acquire knowledge and skills specific to generalized nursing practice utilizing theories from it’s own discipline as well as other sciences and be able to assume leadership roles as a provider of care, teacher, advocate, coordinator of care, and member of the profession. Students who complete the graduate program will be prepared to function as nursing administrators or educators or in professional advanced practice roles as nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and/or case managers.
