Philosophy
Consistent with the mission and purpose of the university, the School of Nursing is a Christian community of disciples, scholars, and practitioners. Its purpose is to advance the work of God in the world through nursing education, research, professional practice, community, and church service.
Health is defined and understood by the faculty as totality or completeness whether for an individual, family, or community. That totality or completeness, within this conceptual definition, cannot be seen apart from the constitutive element of spirituality. Our conceptual approach to health highlights our distinctive as a Christian university and provides the discipline of nursing with a distinctive domain for research.

“Entering into advanced clinical practice opened my eyes to the complexity of healthcare. I am so impressed with the way APU has expanded my knowledge and helped me to think differently about the medical field. I credit the outstanding, clinically active professors for making APU nursing programs relevant and marketable. They offer a real-world curriculum that is flexible with the evolving healthcare industry and students’ busy lives.” |
