The mission of the Nursing Department is to prepare students for Maryland State licensure eligibility and to obtain entry-level positions with an opportunity for career advancement. Graduates of the Chesapeake College/MGW Nursing Program are accountable, adaptable generalists prepared with the knowledge and skills to enter the practice of nursing in a variety of settings and continue study at the baccalaureate level. The curriculum provides the student with the basic knowledge and skills necessary for competent beginning level practice, and includes a balance of general education and nursing theory. Principles from the humanities and biopsychosocial sciences are integrally related to nursing theory and research and the learner is required to apply this knowledge to individuals, families, groups and communities in increasingly complex situations as they progress through the curriculum. Theoretical application takes place in a variety of planned clinical settings, and is viewed as an invaluable aspect of the educational process.
Nursing students must receive a grade of “C” or better in all program requirements in order to continue in and graduate from the Nursing Program. Students should consult with the Director of Nursing in planning an appropriate program.
