Mission Statement
The Mission of the Ben and Ollie Brady School of Nursing is in accordance with the Mission of Shorter University. The Mission of the School of Nursing is to offer an exemplary undergraduate nursing program that integrates a strong curricular foundation infused with liberal arts and science studies that affirms Christian values.
Curriculum
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a four-year degree. The professional baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) will prepare graduates to take the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The baccalaureate nursing graduate will use liberal arts courses such as English, Communication, Psychology, Sociology, Growth and Development, History, Political Science, Religion, and Fine Arts as well as the in depth knowledge acquired from courses in Physical and Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, to provide a foundation for practice in a diverse, complex health care environment. The extensive two years of general course work will be incorporated and serve as the foundation for the nursing course work. A complete listing of all courses required can be found in the Shorter University Course Catalog.
