Vision

The Department of Nursing is an active member of the Humboldt State University community. As such, we will be a premier center of nursing excellence and will aspire to enhance and develop a well-rounded healthcare professional with the capability to promote change in environments beyond oneself.

Mission

As an integral component of Humboldt State University, the Department of Nursing is committed to serving our communities, ranging from regional-to-global. Our primary role is to foster and facilitate the development of holistic, exemplary nursing professionals who are committed to acting in good conscience to improve the human condition in a diverse and continually evolving healthcare environment.

Program Goal

The goal of the Baccalaureate nursing program is to prepare prospective graduates for holistic practice and collaboration with other interdisciplinary professionals in order to partner with diverse individuals, families, groups, and communities to facilitate their maximum level of well being. As a lifelong learner, the graduate is prepared to assume a leadership role in a range of health care settings, and to pursue further specialization and/or graduate education.
