Mission Statement
We the faculty of the School of Nursing at Dalton State College believe that our mission is to prepare students for employment as safe, effective beginning nurse generalist.  Our mission corresponds with all the core characteristics or purposes of Dalton State College but most particularly with the following four:
  • A commitment to a teaching/learning environment, both inside and outside the classroom, that sustains instructional excellence, functions to provide University System access for a diverse student body, and promotes high levels of student learning

  • A commitment to public service, continuing education, technical assistance and economic development activities that address the needs, improve the quality of life, and raise the economic level within the college’s scope of influence

  • A supportive campus climate, necessary services, and leadership and development opportunities, all to educate the whole person and meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff

  • Cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender diversity in the faculty, staff, and student body supported by practices and programs that embody the ideals of an open, democratic, and global society.
In fulfilling the core purposes, our nursing program offers the services of our graduates to local area hospitals and to other providers of health care.  The faculty also encourages the associate degree student to pursue higher degree opportunities for further personal and professional development.  We provide a supportive, caring, teaching/learning environment which recognizes and values the cultural, ethnic, and gender diversity of our student population. Successful completion of the new graduate outcomes enables the graduates to realize their career goals and function safely and effectively as a beginning nurse generalist.
