Augusta State University (Department of Nursing)
The Department of Nursing provides students with the ability to think critically about actual or potential patient care problems, the ability to manage and coordinate patient care to intervene in problems, as well as to demonstrate caring behaviors toward patients while practicing within the legal and ethical scope of professional nursing practice. Recognizing the rapid changes in health care delivery, the Department also inculcates in students the necessity of continued professional growth and development.
The Department of Nursing is an integral part of Augusta State University and supports the Mission and Goals of the institution. The Department conducts a program of education that prepares its graduates to function in the three roles basic to associate degree nursing practice in a variety of settings (Council of Associate Degree Programs, 1990; Council of Associate Degree Nursing Competencies Task Force, 2000). The roles of provider of care, manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing are inclusive of the core components of nursing practice: professional behaviors, communication, assessment, clinical decision making, caring interventions, teaching and learning, collaboration, and managing care (Council of Associate Degree Nursing Competencies Task Force, 2000). The faculty shares with other health professionals the goals of promoting, maintaining, and restoring the health of people within their environment or intervening appropriately to support the patient in end of life care.
