The Gary and Linda Byers School of Nursing

The mission of the Byers School of Nursing is to provide an innovative and transformative nursing education that prepares students to meet the evolving health care needs of individuals, families, and communities. Grounded in our Catholic faith, we offer a unique learning environment that fosters spiritual growth, compassion, and servant leadership. 

Goals and Outcomes

The goal of the Walsh University Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) in nursing curricula is to prepare a graduate who is responsible and accountable for the application of critical thinking, communication principles, science and liberal arts knowledge, and therapeutic nursing interventions with diverse clients in an evolving health care system. The graduate is able to function in the role of caregiver, manager and coordinator of care, and leader. The four-year pre-licensure curriculum prepares the graduate to become licensed as a registered nurse.  The graduate of the BSN Program is accountable and responsible for competent nursing practice and has the foundation for life-long learning.

Program Student Learning Outcomes:

1. Synthesize knowledge of nursing practice to deliver competent person-centered care. 
2. Utilize evidence-based principles to promote quality and safety in nursing practice.
3. Apply population health principles that facilitate a partnership approach to improve health outcomes.
4. Employ informatics and healthcare technology to practice in complex healthcare systems.
5. Demonstrate commitment to professionalism and ongoing leadership development for life-long learning.
