Department Chair: Elizabeth M. Bloom Ph.D., RN
Assistant Chair: Terri Legare Ph.D., RN, CNE

The nursing educational program was established at Salve Regina University in 1947 and later became the first nationally accredited program in Rhode Island. True to the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, the Department of Nursing creates a supportive learning community for students from all backgrounds and beliefs. The Department of Nursing endeavors to develop professional nurses who are liberally educated, ethically grounded, clinically competent providers of health care committed to human service and social justice regardless of the race, ethnicity or religion of the population served.

Committed to patient centered care, graduates will recognize and include the patient and family as full partners on the healthcare team. Graduates will be prepared to become lifelong learners, continuing to develop as health care providers and members of the global health partnership, crafting the role of the nurse of the future.

Graduates may earn a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing by following one of two tracks, the pre-licensure plan of study or the degree completion plan of study for students who are already registered nurses. In the junior year, nursing majors who meet the qualifications are invited to join Sigma Theta Tau International, the international honor society of professional nurses.

Accreditation

Since its inception this baccalaureate program has maintained full approval by the Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education and is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Curriculum

The Bachelor of Science with a major in nursing prepares graduates to enter the profession as a provider of care; as leaders in the design, management and coordination of care; and as an ongoing contributing member of this profession prepared to continue with professional education. The Salve Regina University program of study in nursing provides students with the core knowledge required of health care professionals and the unique knowledge, attitudes, and skills required by the discipline of nursing. Graduates are prepared to practice competently in a variety of settings and provide for the health and healing of patients across the lifespan and along the continuum of health.

Within the scope of practice of a novice professional nurse, graduates will provide health promotion, disease prevention, and risk reduction treatments using evidence-based clinical reasoning, combined with information management, patient care technology, and personal leadership skills to address the complex health care needs of the individuals, families, groups, communities and populations. Graduates will deliver individualized, high quality, safe nursing care that identifies, respects, and addresses patients' differences, values, preferences and expressed needs.

Nursing Student Learning Outcomes

At the completion of the program, students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate knowledge for safe and effective nursing practice with the ability to use clinical judgement, critical thinking, evidenced-based practice, as well as the knowledge from other disciplines including the arts and the sciences.
  2. Provide person-centered care by including family and/or important others; fostering a holistic, individualized, just, respectful, compassionate, and developmentally appropriate approach to patient care. 
  3. Explore the health care delivery continuum, from health promotion and policy to disease management of populations, responding to the needs of an ever-evolving world for the improvement of equitable health outcomes. 
  4. Critically appraise nursing knowledge and information management systems to synthesize, translate, apply, and disseminate information to promote best nursing practice and scholarly inquiry. 
  5. Employ established and emerging principles of quality and safety as core values of nursing practice to improve patient outcomes and minimize risk of harm to patients and providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance. 
  6. Recognize the need and engages in interprofessional partnerships through intentional collaboration across professions to optimize care, foster inclusion, enhance the healthcare experience, and strengthen outcomes. 
  7. Describe various healthcare delivery environments in which nursing effectively and proactively coordinates resources to provide safe and equitable quality care to diverse populations supportive of the Critical Concerns of Mercy.
  8. Develop resilience by coming to know themselves through critical examination of their personal and professional ethics, talents, limitations, relationships, and goals while building skills needed to foster connections with those around them. 

Admission

Students who indicate on their Salve Regina application the desire to major in nursing may be accepted if they meet the entrance requirements of the University and the Department of Nursing. Due to the site requirements for experiential learning, the number of students accepted into the major is limited to ensure clinical placement.

In keeping with the drug-free workplace act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, students in the Department of Nursing of Salve Regina University are expected to lead responsible lives and care for their own health and wellbeing so that they have the capacity to care for others. Substance abuse and its sequelae, addictive illness, impedes self-care and can lead to serious physical, psychological, and social problems ranging from loss of employment, loss of license to practice, and death.
