The Department of Nursing supports the missions of Youngstown
State University and the Bitonte College of Health and Human
Services. The Department of Nursing provides high quality baccalaureate
and graduate nursing programs that are responsive to the health
care needs of society. The Department of Nursing values high
standards of professional ethics; cultural, racial and ethnic
diversity; and student-faculty relations that foster excellence
in teaching, learning, scholarship and public service.
The purpose of the undergraduate program is to prepare nurses
at the baccalaureate level. The program offers both a four year
generic track for new or transfer students who do not have a
diploma or degree in nursing and a completion track for Registered
Nurses with a diploma or associate degree. The curriculum is
designed to include a broad base in general education and a
strong nursing foundation. Graduates are prepared to function
as generalists with professional and technological competence
in a variety of settings.
The purpose of the graduate program is to prepare nurses at
the masters level for advanced practice. The program provides
a strong graduate nursing education in three clinical options
that build on baccalaureate nursing foundation. Students choose
a specialization in chronic illness care, nurse anesthesia,
or school nursing. The core curriculum centers on professional
nursing issues, nursing science, and research methods for building
nursing knowledge. The program prepares nurses to implement
essential characteristics and core competencies for nursing
practice in the selected specialty areas.
