MN program goals

Goals of the Master of Nursing Program are to prepare graduates who are able to:

• Evaluate the adequacy of underlying knowledge from nursing science, related fields, and professional foundations as it informs nursing practice.
• Competently assess, manage health-related issues with a defined population or care system, and evaluate the effectiveness of these nursing practices.
• Utilize knowledge and skills in professional practice among diverse and multi-cultural populations.
• Demonstrate competence in development of inquiry relevant to practice, education, or administration.
• Develop and utilize leadership strategies that foster improvement of healthcare.
• Articulate ethical issues and responsibilities involved in nursing practice.

To support and document progress toward accomplishing these goals, each graduating student is required to submit a portfolio of work completed during the student's residence at UW Tacoma.
