The College of Nursing is committed to offering
educational programs that best serve the needs
of its students and the health care community. The College — through its dedicated
and talented faculty, students and alumni — also serves the larger community of
Villanova University and its surrounding area, Philadelphia, the region, nation
and the world.
The College's impact on society transpires with events and efforts local and
global, each emblematic of what Villanova Nursing means and reflective of the College's
mission,
goals and
philosophy. Among them are:
|
Faculty Practice
- Individual faculty practice that
includes care for both mainstream and disenfranchised populations, as well
as the mentoring of advanced practice nursing and medical students
- Faculty members' service as members of boards of local, regional and national
community groups and organizations (e.g. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, National
MS Society, American Nurses Credentialing Center, National Board for Certification
of Hospice and Palliative Care Nurses, American Cancer Society, Sigma Theta
Tau International, Philadelphia Corporation for the Aging and Province of
St. Thomas of Villanova Health Care Advisory Committee). Through their scholarship,
leadership and service, faculty make substantial contributions to the profession
and society at large.
"Our intellectual presence and service mission at Villanova
and within the nursing profession will be enlivened by our commitment and
promotion of the enduring values that emanate from our Catholic and Augustinian
tradition."
M. Louise Fitzpatrick, EdD, RN, FAAN
Connelly Endowed Dean and Professor of Nursing
