In addition, the Department provides continuing nursing education opportunities for professional nurses in this region. Emphasis is placed on building a new foundation for pursuit of lifelong learning, personally and professionally, by providing a caring climate and student-faculty relationships that encourage the intellectual, ethical, and personal development of each student.
