Ringkasan program

This program builds upon baccalaureate and masters nursing education and emphasizes the use of creativity in the development and formulation of ideas that contribute to nursing science. Through research, analysis, and evaluation, students are empowered to transform knowledge and critical data into viable propositions through effective communication, pedagogies, and clinical application. As students progress through the PhD program, they learn the value of research and interdisciplinary inquiry. The department believes that professional nursing is a distinct scientific discipline, with a specific body of knowledge obtained through research. Today’s PhD nursing scholar is entrusted with shaping and preserving the quality and vitality of professional nursing. The two focus areas, clinical nursing science and health systems, reflect faculty research strengths. This program operates to create structures and resources that enable individuals and communities to achieve optimal health. This focus area includes the science of nursing education, informatics, health policy, and administration. Examples of scholarship and faculty research within the focus of health systems are teaching and learning in web-based courses, clinical reasoning, assessment of learning and program evaluation, health policy and public policy analysis, computer systems to enhance care delivery, nursing informatics, narrative pedagogies, patient care simulations, community-based care coordination etc. This distance-accessible option offers master’s prepared nurses access to this Ph.D. program through a variety of distance technologies. Faculty and students use Web-based courses, video conferencing, discussion dialogues, telephone conferencing, and other emerging technologies to communicate and participate effectively via long distance. Courses and faculty mentoring are coupled with required two-week on-campus summer intensive sessions. Admission criteria and curriculum are the same for both options.
