SCHOOL OF NURSING Education is a journey, and as you continue on this journey within your career tra- jectory, always remember the time you spend with Bluefield College School of Nursing (SON) will open new doors to many professional opportunities. Today more than ever, you are presented with a myriad of exciting possibilities in the field of nursing and health care. The SON is delighted to provide the educational foundation to support future objec- tives and a lifelong journey of professional development. We believe nursing must be a force for innovation, learning and discovery to prepare culturally proficient providers to meet the complex health care needs of a global community. The SON offers an undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The undergraduate degree offers a BSN completion option for registered nurses with evidence of having earned an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from an accredited pro- gram. The SON also offers a MSN which prepares registered nurses to either practice the art and science of delivering care to rural populations or to educate future academicians and nursing leaders. We recognize that MSN-prepared nurses may practice, teach, and influence the health care needs of our populations, and nurse educators and nursing lead- ers prepare the nurse to practice at all levels of nursing education and leadership. This transformation is a collaboration of blending all health care professions and politics with movement from the grassroots level. VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS (SON) Vision As a School of Nursing, the vision is to develop leaders in nursing whose actions, discov- eries, and voices lead to strengthen and transform the healthcare of individuals and com- munities worldwide. Mission The mission of the Bluefield College School of Nursing (BC SON) Program represents the mission of Bluefield College as a Christ-centered liberal arts college with the Baptist Gen- eral Association of Virginia, which reflects the tripartite nursing roles of teaching, servant leadership, and research through a collaborative learning environment. Faculty are com- mitted to graduating nursing leaders focused on interprofessional roles to improve health
