Top-Ranking Nursing Program in Arkansas

Students are taught that nursing is both an art and a science; it is a process of assessment, analysis, planning, implementation and evaluation that utilizes a systematic approach to the provision of evidence-based nursing care. The practice of safe, holistic care based upon the nursing process requires the utilization of research, critical thinking, leadership knowledge and Christian principles as well as the ability to communicate, the use of professional standards and clinical competence. In addition to in-class learning, students gain a number of clinical hours through area hospitals and within our state-of-the-art facilities.
