Mission and Vision

Mission

The School of Nursing mission is consistent with the mission and goals of Florida Gulf Coast University and the College of Health Professions. The school offers excellent, innovative, learner-centered nursing programs. Students engage in progressively complex curricula that prepare them to assume essential roles within diverse, interdisciplinary, and environmentally sensitive health care settings. Pivotal to the school mission is a faculty commitment to foster an open climate in which students are engaged as caring, compassionate, and humanizing professionals within evidence-based, technologically focused, and outcome-oriented health care systems. Outstanding faculty members seek to transform students' lives through promoting patterns of life-long learning by applying and disseminating results of scholarly work.

Vision

The School of Nursing will emerge as a leader in educating professional registered nurses to meet the health care needs of southwest Florida. The faculty strives to promote student success through excellence in teaching, scholarship, practice, and service.
