Philosophy

The University of Indianapolis School of Nursing values high academic standards, faculty-mentored learning, excellence in professional practice, and a Christian philosophy of CARE*1 embracing diverse populations. In preparing nurses for a graduate degree, our educational philosophy encompasses assertions regarding CARING* within nursing education and nursing practice.2  Moreover, the philosophy of the graduate nursing program is congruent with the beliefs of the university at large and with the School of Nursing, in particular. The University of Indianapolis’ motto “Education for Service” is observable in our individual teaching philosophies and interactions with students and is foundational to our program goals. Education for service is personified in Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) as they make significant contributions to the health of our society. Accordingly, the shared values of “education for service” and “CARING* within education and practice” are the heart of our mission.

1 We have chosen to represent the Dr. Roach’s six attributes of caring with a capitalized, bolded CARE*, such that when “CARE*” is seen in this document, this inclusive nature of caring is implied.

2 The relationship between CARING* nursing practice and CARING* nursing education is depicted in a model which accompanies this document.
