As nurses, you have already started your journey caring for patients and their families. Our mission in this program is two-fold. The first is to support you in the next stage of your patient care journey by increasing the depth and breadth of your knowledge in the nursing care of patients with increasing acuity, complexity as well as in the care of communities and populations. The second part of our mission is to support your increasing understanding of writing, reading and analysis of research, your journey as a nursing scholar. We will do all of this while encouraging your to continue to build your knowledge and practice of ethical and professional care through the lens of being an advocate for patient safety and quality of care.
