M. Lantican GRADUATE FACULTY: Amaya, Bass, Beeman, Castiglia, Castillo, Lantican, Reynolds The Graduate Program in Nursing is designed to permit students to earn the degree of Master of Science in Nursing. The mission of the College is to prepare professionals to respond to the health needs of individuals, families, and groups in society. The curriculum of the graduate program is intended to prepare professional nurses for advanced leadership through enhanced clinical practice, research, and role expansion. The student selects an area of clinical concentration as a major and a nursing minor in nursing education or clinical supervision and administration. The enhancement of clinical practice occurs through the expansion and refinement of knowledge and the testing of theory. Role expansion occurs through advanced practice, education, and management functions as they relate to health care delivery and increasing professional responsibilities to society. In addition, through the functional roles, the nurse enhances the performance of others by contributing to the improvement of human functioning. The degree of Master of Science in Nursing provides the graduate the opportunity to: apply theoretical and conceptual frameworks from nursing and other disciplines to the practice of clinical nursing in advanced roles; synthesize theoretical formulations from nursing and other disciplines making applications in the care of clients; provide advanced nursing care based upon an in-depth client assessment in an area of clinical focus; evaluate ethical, moral, and legal precepts in client care; design client interventions that are based upon cultural backgrounds and needs; apply research methods to investigate problems which influence advanced nursing care; analyze public policy issues as they affect advanced nursing practice and health care delivery systems; collaborate with other disciplines to provide care in a variety of settings; integrate peer review and/or peer guidance in advanced practice; participate in professional leadership at all levels; gain the basis for doctoral study and lifelong learning.
