Faculty Handbook

The School of Nursing Faculty Handbook includes information that is basic to faculty’s orientation to the School, and it is designed to provide faculty with the general knowledge needed for day-to-day activities. More indepth information is provided during formal orientations to the School, academic departments, and selected University units. A copy of the most current Self-Study of the School and Annual Report are located in each department. These documents include information about every component of the School and are an excellent reference for all faculty.

General Overview Information about the School of Nursing is available in the “About Us” section of the website on the following:

• Mission and Philosophy of Nursing and Nurse Education
