Students are introduced to the Nurse of the Future Core Competencies for nursing practice to begin to establish a caring professional identity.

Evidence based knowledge and practice with sensitivity to social determinants of health and health disparities are introduced with special consideration given to the older adult, under-represented and vulnerable populations. Content draws upon the knowledge from the biophysical and psychological sciences, which are taught concurrently. The Nursing Skills and Simulation Laboratory are integral parts of learning, providing the student opportunities to observe, practice, plan and demonstrate clinical skills. Correlated clinical experiences are offered in diverse health care settings where students are taught to begin understanding and utilizing clinical judgment to provide individualized patient-centered care that leads to the most optimal patient outcomes.
