Nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems (American Nurses Association). The role of the professional/ baccalaureate nurse encompasses three broad areas:
- Provider of direct and indirect care to individuals, families, groups, communities and populations
- Designer, manager and coordinator of care
- Member of a profession
IU Southeast's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program offers a creative curriculum to prepare future nurses to meet the current and future health needs of society. The curriculum prepares graduates to function as practitioners in acute and long-term care, community settings, home care and other non-traditional settings as well as provides a foundation for leadership positions and graduate study.
