Grand Canyon University College of Nursing and Health Care
Professions Philosophy

Care Professions Philosophy."
Grand Canyon University College of Nursing and Health Care
Professions Philosophy
In concert with the mission of the university, the College of
Nursing and Health Care Professions faculty affirms our belief
in educating nurses within a dedicated and supportive

4. community of Christian nurse scholars. The nursing programs
prepare graduates to provide excellent, holistic care while
encouraging a passion for achievement, a lifelong curiosity for
knowledge, and pursuit of advanced professional degrees.
The AACN Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for
Professional Nursing Practice guides the curriculum for the
baccalaureate program. The AACN’s The Essentials of Master’s
Education for Advanced Nursing Practice, Advanced Nursing
Practice: Curriculum Guidelines and Program Standards for
Nurse Practitioner Education, NONPF and AACN Nursing
Practitioner Primary Care Competencies in Specialty Areas,
NONPF Domains and Competencies of Nurse Practitioner
Practice, and NACNS Statement on Clinical Nurse Specialist
Practice and Education provide structure for the curriculum
content of the master’s program. The College of Nursing and
Health Care Professions curriculum is designed to facilitate the
students’ abilities to creatively respond to continuously
changing health care systems throughout the world. Educational
experiences are planned to meet the needs of and to empower
both students and clients. Professionalism, ethical decision
making, accountability, critical thinking, and effective
communication are emphasized. This is achieved through the
application of liberal arts constructs, science, health and
nursing theories, and the values of the Christian faith within the
scope of nursing knowledge and evidence-based practice.
Nursing practice promotes human dignity through
compassionate caring for all human beings, without
consideration of their gender, age, color, creed, lifestyle,
cultural background, and other visible or invisible boundaries
among students, faculty, and clients.
The faculty of the College of Nursing and Health Care
Professions is accountable for the quality of the educational
programs and for the promotion of safe and effective nursing
through teaching, service, and collaboration with other
professionals and consumers of care. The following statements
reflect the philosophical beliefs of the faculty in relation to the

5. concepts of health, environment, person, and nursing:
HEALTH
Health is the central focus of nursing. Health is a dynamic
aspect of being that incorporates physical, emotional,
intellectual, spiritual, and social dimensions.
ENVIRONMENT
All humans interact with the physical, emotional, intellectual,
spiritual, and social environments in which they work, play, and
live. The nursing role is to help provide healthy and safe
environments so that persons may live in optimal health.
PERSON
We believe that all people are accepted and loved
unconditionally as children of God. In the baccalaureate
program, clients are considered to be individuals, families,
groups, communities, and populations. In the master’s program,
clients include in addition organizations/systems. Human
diversity is cherished. Spirituality is conceived as vertical and
horizontal relationships with God and humanity. These
relationships give hope and meaning to life now and in the
future.
NURSING
Baccalaureate nursing practice incorporates the roles of
assessing, critical thinking, communicating, providing care,
teaching, and leading. The caring professional approach
includes the values of autonomy, altruism, human dignity,
integrity, and social justice with unconditional regard for all
people. Nursing practice includes health promotion, disease
prevention, early detection of health deviations, prompt and
adequate treatment of the human response to acute and chronic
illness, and compassionate care for those experiencing death.
Master’s nursing practice expands upon baccalaureate nursing
concepts to include clinical practice knowledge,
coaching/mentoring/teaching, consulting/collaborating,
advanced leadership, and nursing education with a focus on
research and quality assurance, critical thinking, spirituality,
diversity, caring, and lifelong learning. The advanced

6. professional nursing role relies on best practices and evidence-
based research with a focus on evaluation of health, outcomes,
and processes.
Nursing education is theory driven. Theories are derived from
the humanities, sciences, and Biblical concepts. Nursing
knowledge, theory, research, and health promotion are
influenced by spiritual perspectives, and ethical, legal, political,
historical, and social influences. The faculty values excellence
in teaching with an individual focus on the learner. Teaching
includes a variety of methods, learning modalities, and practice
situations. Faculty provide opportunities for students to give
comprehensive care to diverse client populations, and the
learning environment is created and arranged to meet individual
learning outcomes that are consistent with the College of
Nursing and Health Care Professions program outcomes. The
College of Nursing and Health Care Professions supports life-
long learning endeavors and fosters an appreciation of diversity
among traditional and nontraditional learners. Students are
educated to provide, direct, and evaluate client-centered care
while focusing on the person as an integrated whole.

indentations, or bold formatting is evident.The layout shows
some structure, but appears cluttered and busy or distracting

many different fonts, dark or busy background, overuse of bold,
or lack of appropriate indentations of text.The layout uses
horizontal and vertical white space appropriately. Sometimes
the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places the use of fonts,
italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background
detracts and does not enhance readability. The layout

choice in distinctive and creative ways that are appropriate to
