SCHOOL OF NURSING MISSION The baccalaureate nursing curriculum at Millikin University fosters the development of a community of life-long learners who are able to envision and shape the future of health care and compose a personal life of meaning and value. Professional nursing education at Millikin University accurately reflects James Millikin's vision of the University as "an institution where the scientific, the practical, and the industrial shall have a place of equal importance, side by side, with the literary and the classical." Nursing is a profession recognized for its intentional blend of the rigorous application of scientific knowledge with the art of caring. The hallmarks of a Millikin University education are exemplified in the mission of the School of Nursing. * The Baccalaureate nursing curriculum is founded on the integrated learning that connects liberal and professional education and life experiences. Professional nursing practice is based on the ability to synthesize theoretical and empirical knowledge from the humanities and the natural, social, and nursing sciences to enhance the delivery of holistic care. The faculty of the School of Nursing seek to develop within students a commitment to professional excellence through the integration of these multidisciplinary perspectives. * Experiential learning that connects theory, practice, and reflection is central to nursing education. Millikin nursing students manage the nursing care of individuals, families, groups, and communities through the application of theory to clinical practice. * Collaborative learning is accomplished through classroom and clinical experiences, close faculty-student mentoring relationships, and extensive community-wide connections. This process further extends to collaboration with colleagues and consumers in the provision of evidence-based care to improve the quality of health care and advance nursing as a profession. * An engaged learning philosophy increases the student's self-awareness and connects students to each another, the campus community, and the larger world community. Nursing students are prepared to appreciate and exert influence on the profession within a global perspective and environmental realities. Democratic citizenship and professional success is nurtured by the challenge to blend knowledge, skill, and values in the delivery of health care to diverse, multicultural populations within a dynamic global environment. The framework for the nursing curriculum at Millikin University incorporates the school's mission, goals, and outcomes under the core concepts of person, nursing, environment, and health.
