Bloomsburg University is to provide learning opportunities in
nursing and related disciplines which enable the student to
attain attitudes, knowledge, and skills essential to role development of a beginning practitioner. The graduate utilizes
critical thinking, responsible decision making, and independent judgement through use of the nursing process to provide
health care to a diverse and multicultural society in a variety of
health care settings.
