Faculty Scholarship
The faculty of the Mary Black School of Nursing’s commitment
to academic excellence is reflected in their participation of a wide array of
scholarly activities. From presenting at
national, state, and local conferences to publications in scholarly journals,
the faculty’s involvement is evident.
Even though scholarship is extremely important, it is viewed
as a complement to the mission of undergraduate education of baccalaureate
nursing students, both traditional and returning Registered Nurses who desire
to hold a Bachelor’s degree in nursing.
In addition to teaching, the faculty attempts to engage students in
their scholarly endeavors as an adjunct to the learning process.
Some examples of ongoing scholarship this year (2010-2011)
