CURRICULUM
6STATEMENT OF BELIEFSGiven the mission of the University and the College of Nursing, the College is guided by a set ofbeliefs held by the faculty in relation to: Nursing’s phenomenon of concern as human beings within the context of health; Nursing as an evidence-based profession; and Nursing education as a lifelong processThe beliefs that guide the nursing education programs and the discipline of nursing at FloridaState University are:a. The foundation of nursing is based upon broad preparation in liberal studies, socializationinto the core values of the profession, and preparation in the knowledge and skillsrequisite to practice at the Baccalaureate and Graduate levelsb. Nursing knowledge is built on nursing practice, theory, and research. In addition, nursingdrives knowledge from other disciplines, adapting and applying this knowledge asappropriate to professional practicec. Nurses bring a unique blend of knowledge, judgement, skills, and caring to the healthcare team. Professional nursing requires strong critical reasoning, clinical judgement,communication and assessment skills, and a commitment to lifelong learning (AACNBaccalaureate Essentials, 2008)d. Nurses must process the knowledge and skills needed to provide safe, culturallycompetent and high-quality care in an environment of increasing diversity andglobalization (AACN Baccalaureate Essentials, 2008)e. Nursing practice is comprised of approaches gained through scientific inquiry designed tobroaden the evidence base of the profession. These approaches are designed to explainand facilitate the phenomenon of human existence in the context of healthf. Baccalaureate education, the minimal requirement for entry into professional nursingpractice, prepares the generalist and is the foundation for Graduate nursing education(AACN Baccalaureate Essentials, 2008)g. The fundamental aspects of generalist nursing practice are direct care of the sick in andacross all environments, health promotion and prevention of illness, and population-basedhealth care (AACN Baccalaureate Essentials, 2008)h. Graduate nursing education prepared nurses for role enhancement and advancedprofessional practicei. Nursing must educate future professionals to deliver patient-centered care as members ofan Interprofessional team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvementapproaches and informatics (IOM, 2003) (AACN Baccalaureate Essentials, 2008)
7GRADUATE PROGRAM CONCEPTUAL MAPThe conceptual map of the graduate program consists of three major parts: the core circle,elliptical inner orbits, and the outer orbits. The graduate program is built upon core professionalnursing values and life-long learning. An undergraduate baccalaureate degree in nursing is amandatory criterion for entering the graduate program.The center of the model depicts the lifelong learning in a culturally sensitive environmentencircling Benner’s Model of Novice to Expert, depicting students’ progression through theprogram and beyond graduation. Additionally, the core is based on evidence-based practicerepresenting the knowledge content required for mastering, applying, and fine-tuning theconcepts and processes students master as they move through the curriculum.The orbits on the second layer indicate the three majors or roles students may choose as a focusof their studies: family nurse practitioner, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, and acutecare nurse practitioner which include the various healthcare providers certificate programs.The outer orbit depicts the major expected roles students will evidence as they move from noviceto expert. These roles are expected of students in all of the curriculum tracks in the graduateprogram.
