The document provides guidance for developing a nursing mission statement, philosophy, and goals for a new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. It explains that the mission statement should capture the distinctive character and purpose of the nursing program. The philosophy should be based on nursing's four metaparadigms (person, nursing, health, environment) and guide curriculum development. Goals should identify desired student behaviors aligned with accreditation standards and written using Bloom's taxonomy, describing broad outcomes rather than specific objectives.

Philosophy and Goals DQ 3You are the new Dean of Nursing in the fictitious University of
the Seven Seas, College of Nursing (USS CON) and you are tasked to design a BSN
curriculum for the new nursing program.For Part 1 of the Scenario in creating your BSN
nursing program for the USS CON you will develop your nursing mission statement,
philosophy, and program goals incorporating the QSEN and IOM recommendations for
producing safe, quality care and coverage for all patients through nursing education. You
will create a 4–6-page paper, using APA guidelines (excluding title page, references, and
Appendices) addressing these items:Crafting a Mission StatementThe mission of an
organization is a succinct statement that captures the institution’s distinctive character. A
mission statement is a declaration of the special purposes of an institution and whom it
intends to serve. It is the public statement about what the institution is and why it exists.
The uniqueness of the institution and scope of its activities are evident in the mission
statement. The mission statement shapes the nature, scope, and boundaries of the goals,
activities, and curriculum of the school of nursing (Iwasiw, Goldberg, & Andrusyszyn,
2009).Documenting the Philosophy“A curriculum philosophy is a speculative and analytical
examination of beliefs which are logically conceptualized… [However,] beliefs are accepted
opinions or convictions of the truth that are not necessarily supported by scientific
knowledge. The purpose of the curriculum philosophy is to guide the educational processes
of the learner” (Torres & Stanton, 1982, p. 30). The philosophy gives Identifying Nursing
Mission Philosophy and Goals DQ 3direction for the development of the curriculum. A
nursing program’s philosophy is based on the stated mission, philosophy, and goals of the
institution offering the program. The philosophy needs to incorporate the four
Metaparadigms of nursing: Person, Nursing, Health, and Environment.Use the Internet to
examine the philosophy and social statements of several universities and their colleges of
nursing to familiarize yourself with important elements that are germane to each
statement.Identifying the GoalsThe goals of a nursing program should be consistent with
the nursing philosophy and should identify a level of student behavior (Torres & Stanton,
1982). Goals should initially be viewed as core characteristics or those qualities that faculty
want graduates to display, such as: 1) critical thinker; 2) Culturally competent; 3)
Knowledgeable coordinator of community resources; 4) Politically aware; 5) Ethically and
legally grounded; 6) Effective Communicator; 7) Competent provider of health care; 8)
Modeler of the professional role; 9) Responsible manager of human, fiscal, and material

Nursing, Essentials of Baccalaureate Education (AACN, 2008).Remember, goals are not
objectives and should not be written on the smaller scale that objectives are written on.
Goals are broad and need to be written as student behavioral outcomes according to
Bloom’s Taxonomy (especially at the 4–6 levels). If you are not familiar with Bloom’s
Taxonomy (or Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy) there is an abundance of information available
online. Be sure to take time to acquaint yourself with this valuable instructional design
