The mission of the School of Nursing is to provide adult learners with knowledge, skills, and values to improve nursing and health care for diverse individuals and populations in the community. The faculty achieves this mission by offering a quality nursing education that prepares learners to be competent providers of nursing care and leaders in the profession. Guiding principles are respect for each learner’s uniqueness, the ethic of caring, collaborative partnerships with the community, and health as a fundamental right for all. The nursing programs are characterized by accessibility, flexibility, currency, and innovative instructional delivery using standard and distance education methods and information technology. The School’s mission reflects the mission and goals of the College of Health and Human Services and the California State University, Dominguez Hills.
