Dillard University (Division of Nursing)

The Division of Nursing was established in 1942 and became the fifth academic division of Dillard University. The Division of Nursing has the distinction of being the first National League for Nursing accredited program in the state of Louisiana. The nursing program has maintained national accreditation since 1952 and completed a site visit by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission in November 1992. MISSION The mission of the Division of Nursing is consistent with the mission of Dillard University. It is based on the belief that the profession of nursing is a primary force in the improvement of the human condition. The faculty accepts the responsibility to create and maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth through the achievement of academic excellence within the framework of a liberal arts education. The faculty believes that broadly educated individuals apply knowledge through critical inquiry and critical appraisal, adapt to change, and are culturally competent. Graduates are therefore, able to meet the competitive demands of their profession. The assessment and shaping of values is a vital part of the educational process. It increases acceptance of responsibility and accountability and promotes individual contributions to the profession and society. Preparation for practice must include opportunities that allow the individual to perform, compete, and thrive in a multidimensional professional environment. GOALS The programs of the Division of Nursing are designed to achieve the following goals: 1. Provide a nursing program with a strong liberal arts background that will serve as a basis for continuing education and graduate study. 2. Prepare entry level professional nurses who are able to deliver comprehensive nursing care in a variety of settings. 3. Prepare entry-level professional nurses who will improve the quality of health care delivery through personal and professional contributions to society. 4. Provide learning experiences that will enable graduates to effectively respond to the changing health care environment.
