Nursing Student Handbook: Undergraduate/Pre-Licensure 2018-2019 COLLEGE OF NURSING 8432 Magnolia Avenue Riverside, CA 92504 Telephone: 951-343-4700 Fax: 951-343-4703 Dear Nursing Student: It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Undergraduate/Pre-Licensure Registered Nursing program at California Baptist University. The nursing program at California Baptist University (CBU) is taught from a biblical worldview, designed to integrate a wide range of knowledge from various sciences, cultures, and societies. It is our intention that the undergraduate/pre-licensure program will provide the best possible academic foundation for you. You will learn more about the ‘art’ of nursing, how it is more about ‘being’ and less about ‘doing’, and our obligation to treat each person with dignity, reverence, honor, and respect (Parse, 2014). As a result of your studies, we expect that you will begin the process of integrating the theoretical concepts and practical skills necessary to become a competent, successful, ethical and productive nurse who demonstrates a readiness for leadership and graduate study in nursing. Included in the Undergraduate/Prelicensure Nursing Student Handbook are information about our core foundations, admissions, academic standards and grading policies, student responsibilities, learning resources, and clinical affiliations. This handbook is a supplement to the CBU University Student Handbook. Please review these handbooks as they can answer many of the academic questions you may have. Thank you for choosing CBU to pursue your nursing education. Many blessings to you as you begin this journey and prepare to engage with others in a meaningful way. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). We wish you well as you begin this course of study with us. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of our core nursing faculty.

The Nature of the Individual The Faculty of the School of Nursing at California Baptist University believes that nursing is a human science discipline, the practice of which is a performing art. As such, and consistent with the overall mission and philosophy of California Baptist University, the faculty believes that nursing is concerned with human freedom, dignity and living quality from the perspective of persons, families, and communities. Each individual is indivisible, unpredictable, and ever changing as created in God’s image, and endowed by God with inherent dignity and worth. As image bearers of God, each individual possesses august presence, a noble bearing. Persons structure personal meaning, and coauthor living quality, freely choosing ways of becoming and moving on with hopes and dreams. Individuals, families, and communities are not merely composed of parts, instead, they are illimitable, that is more than and different from the sum of parts. Persons possess innate worth and a right to live and die with dignity. Throughout human life, persons coexist with and interconnect with the universe in community and establish health priorities based on value priorities. Persons choose from many options emerging with living experiences in constructing personal reality in giving meaning to universal living experiences. Health The term health may be defined from the viewpoints of different perspectives. For example, health may be defined as a label or diagnosis from a biomedical totality perspective. However, to the person, the definition of what constitutes health may be very different. What constitutes the meaning of health in individuals, families, and communities can only be defined from the perspective of the persons who are living it. Health is dynamic and ever-changing, and in the 21st century, more persons are defining their own health and making explicit-tacit choices for their healthcare. Nursing The phenomena of concern for nursing is the human-universe-health process; articulated by CBU CON as “humanuniverse” (Parse, 2014, p.8). Nurses provide leadership to society through a concern for persons, families, communities, healthcare, and quality of living, and through participating in community change. Nursing practice focuses on offering attentive presence to 1 of 3 Philosophy persons, families, communities in choosing possibilities in their ever-changing health process. The nurse initiates nurse-person, nurse-family, and nurse-group processes for the purpose of offering services and to be present with people as they enhance health and quality of life. The essence or quality of living is the core substance that makes each human life created by God to be different, and uniquely irreplaceable. The purpose of nursing is to demonstrate fruits of the Holy Spirit, to respect, support and enhance each person’s quality of life articulated within CBU SON as living quality. Living quality is the visible-invisible becoming of the emerging now; it is what the person is living now and goes beyond static notions of quality of life. Nursing is an ever-changing, scientific discipline with its own growing body of knowledge which is embedded in nursing theories and frameworks. The faculty values the extant nursing theoretical frameworks as guides for nursing practice, research, and education. The science of nursing is supported by natural, behavioral, social sciences, and the humanities. Nurses integrate knowledge of other disciplines while practicing the art of nursing. The art of nursing requires critical thinking ability and purposeful planning with persons, families, and communities through unique processes emanating from theoretical frameworks. Nurses provide services to society as related to health, well-being and illness. Nurses cooperate with other healthcare providers to meet this mandate to society which is quality healthcare. The practice of nursing is differing from and complementary to the practice of medicine. As one of the major healthcare professions, the faculty believes that nursing is accountable to God and to society for the provision of quality healthcare services in a broad variety of settings. Nurses prepared in higher education endeavor to encounter and explore this responsibility through leadership, collaboration, research utilization, and educational activities to improve nursing practice in all community settings, influence healthcare policies, and further enhance the development of nursing science. Nursing in Society In a rapidly, ever-changing technological universe, adequate and equitable delivery of nursing services and healthcare is a critical issue. Through its unique contributions, nursing can and ought to be a voice advocating for quality of healthcare services for all persons. To participate in changing healthcare delivery systems, nurses prepared in higher education are exposed to thinking and discussions regarding ethical issues, issues of healthcare law, issues regarding the evaluation of the adequacy of healthcare services, as well as participating in community legislative processes at the local, state, national, and international levels. Nursing Education The faculty believes that initial preparation of professional nurses to meet the healthcare needs of society is best accomplished through learning acquired through baccalaureate nursing education and beyond. Baccalaureate nursing education provides teaching-learning opportunities that facilitate knowledge acquisition along with the practice necessary to prepare graduates for professional practice, leadership and graduate nursing education. Master’s nursing education broadens theoretical, practice, and research knowledge within an ever-changing healthcare 2 of 3
