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.
