Mission of the School of Nursing

At Platt College of Colorado
 

Our Vision

We, the faculty at the School of Nursing at Platt College, seek to instill in each nursing student a foundation of knowledge and skills necessary to meet the ever changing societal healthcare needs by encouraging life-long learning and a passion for professional nursing practice.

Our Mission

The School of Nursing at Platt College prepares employment-ready graduates for diverse professional nursing practice while promoting personal and professional integrity and utilization of evidence to provide competent, safe, high quality, effective care for individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.

Our Theoretical Framework

We believe the School of Nursing's mission and vision are elucidated through the application of the General Systems Theory (Bertalanffy, 1968) as a framework for how we view and teach our students to examine humans interactions from a health system's perspective.  Holism is achieved through analysis and intervention within the healthcare system.
