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.
