Mission Statement
The mission of the University of Windsor baccalaureate nursing programs
is to prepare practitioners to collaborate with clients and members of
the health care team to facilitate the achievement of
optimal levels of health. The scope of the program includes teaching
scientifically-based nursing practice using theory, clinical skills, and
research findings in the care of individuals, families, groups, and communities.
The School fosters personal and professional development and ethical
accountability. Students have opportunities to provide leadership within
nursing and are prepared to practice in a variety of health care settings.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the School of Nursing at the University of Windsor
is outlined in the following statements about our beliefs relative to health,
individuals, nursing, learning and teaching:
HEALTH
Health is a dynamic process whereby the individual, family, or group
is able to realize aspirations, satisfy needs, and change or cope with
the environment. Health is a resource for everyday life. It is
a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources as well
as physical capacity. Health is the goal of all nursing behaviours.
INDIVIDUALS
Individuals are unique holistic persons with inherent dignity and are
worthy of respect and care.
Individuals have freedom of choice and are accountable for these choices.
Individuals are capable of entering reciprocal caring relationships which
foster health, growth, and self-actualization.
NURSING
Nursing is a humanistic, caring process, the goal of which is to help
individuals, families and communities achieve an optimal level of health
consistent with their abilities and desires. Nurses, in collaboration with
members of the health team and the clients themselves, facilitate client
maturation and stress adaptation.
LEARNING/TEACHING
Learning is an individualized activity and involves learners' personal
goals, perceptions and unique learning style. Learning is goal oriented
and an active life-long process of change and development.
Teaching is a facilitative process through which learners are guided
and supported. It involves communication, clearly defined goals, appropriate
learning activities and a climate conducive to
growth. The curriculum is multi-disciplinary and aims to provide the
learners with opportunities for intellectual and professional development.
Program Goals
The School of Nursing seeks to prepare graduates who will be able to:
1. Accept responsibility for self development, both personal and professional.
2. Use nursing and multi-disciplinary theories as the basis for nursing
practice.
3. Apply the nursing process to meet the health needs of individuals,
families and communities.
3. Organize collaborative relationships with clients and members of
the health team for the provision
of health.
5. Provide leadership within nursing.
6. Initiate actions to meet the learning needs of individuals, families
and communities.
7. Use research findings in nursing management, education and practice.
8. Demonstrate ethical and legal accountability in nursing, and professional
and community organizations.
