University of Detroit Mercy (McAuley School of Nursing)

McAuley School of Nursing has a valued tradition of clinical excellence and is committed to graduating nurse practitioners who have the ability to meet society's evolving health care needs. UDM's undergraduate curriculum in nursing is built upon a foundation comprised of the liberal arts and sciences, and strives to encourage critical thinking. Our unique Cooperative Education component provides a structured educational experience. All pre-licensure nursing students complete two coop assignments in addition to clinical placements. These paid assignments provide valuable hands-on experience and contribute significantly to graduates' high job placement ratio. MISSION The mission of the McAuley School of Nursing (MSON) program is to prepare skilled baccalaureate and master's level nurses who are committed to lead, provide high quality, cost-effective and culturally competent health care services to individuals, families, and communities. Congruent with the University's mission, the program focuses on providing nursing care to the underserved in an urban context. PHILOSOPHY In accordance with the mission and the core values of the University of Detroit Mercy, the faculty of the McAuley School of Nursing (MSON) promotes a values-based education that fosters the spiritual, intellectual, social, and psychological growth of the learner. The faculty is committed to the service of faith and social justice and compassionate, competent nursing care especially for vulnerable populations. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is the foundation for professional nursing practice and for the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. The nursing faculty believes that education is a dynamic, interactional process that involves changes in perception, thinking, feeling, and action. Education is the process of acquiring new knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values to meet the challenges of the contemporary world and the communities we serve. Building on the Mercy and Jesuit tradition, the faculty is committed to creating a learning community of discourse and service. Utilizing pedagogy that encourages ongoing reflection on our human experience, faculty and students work together to further the social, political, economic and spiritual well being of the human community. In that regard, the faculty believes that learners are characterized by a diversity of cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic status. The MSON actively recruits and values faculty and students who reflect this diversity. Likewise, partnerships in the community are developed and utilized to provide students with experiences of diversity in clinical settings. The MSON faculty strives to promote a sense of altruism, confidence and autonomy with accountability and a commitment to lifelong learning and professional competency. To meet the complex, multifaceted role of the professional nurse, undergraduate-nursing education must integrate a strong liberal arts foundation with core competencies of nursing science. Such integration establishes a broad-base learning foundation that promotes critical thinking, clinical judgment, and ethical decision-making. The graduate program provides experiences for students to develop the necessary knowledge for advanced nursing practice. This includes developing knowledge and expertise in specialty roles, evidence-based practice and leadership. Both professional and advanced practice nursing education require respect for the unique traditions, missions, and strengths and needs of our community's partners.
