Louisiana State University (Health Sciences Center School of Nursing)

MISSION The mission of LSUHSC School of Nursing is to provide local, national and international leadership in the education of professional nurses to function as generalists, advanced practitioners, educators, scholars, and researchers who shape the delivery of nursing practice and education. The mission is accomplished through clinically relevant teaching, learning, and practice in culturally diverse settings, community service, and research which builds the science of nursing. Faculty embrace and honor the scholarship domains of discovery, teaching and integration as foundational to the development of professional knowledge. Educational mobility and continuing education programs are provided for nursing professionals and citizens of the community through traditional and innovative methods. PHILOSOPHY Nursing is a professional discipline concerned with the promotion of health, the prevention and treatment of disease, and the alleviation of human suffering. The faculty ascribes to the belief that the purpose of nursing is to promote the well-being and empowerment of individuals, families, groups, and communities. We believe that professional nursing accomplishes these goals through a blend of health care sciences, clinical expertise, and caring practices. We believe that nursing care is designed to address specific features of human environments that impact individuals’ responses to health care and is sensitive to cultural diversity. Nursing collaborates with other disciplines to promote human wholeness and healing within a caring environment. Six Core Values have been identified by faculty as guiding their teaching and, practice. The Core values include Respect, Integrity, Professionalism, Diversity, Excellence and Caring. This philosophy supports the mission of the LSU Health Sciences Center, which promotes excellence in the endeavors of teaching, research, and service that will benefit the citizens of the State of Louisiana.
