Welcome to
The University of
South Dakota
Department of
Nursing.
|
The University of South Dakota Department of Nursing is one of three inaugural programs to receive designation as a NLN Center of Excellence for Creating Environments that Enhance Student Learning and Professional Development. Currently there are only ten programs in the country to have been awarded this prestigious new designation of excellence in nursing education. For the first time, schools of nursing that distinguish themselves by outstanding achievement in the promotion of excellence in nursing education are being publicly acknowledged. The National League for Nursing Centers of Excellence program calls for schools to apply for a three-year designation based on their sustained demonstration of excellence in faculty development, nursing education research, or student learning and professional development. USD has attained the NLN Center of Excellence status for 2004 through 2007 and can reapply for continuing designation in the category "Creating Environments that Promote Student Learning and Professional Development”, may apply for designation in one of the other areas, or may choose to apply for designation in more than one area.
The associate degree nursing program at The University of South Dakota was founded in response to the healthcare needs of the community. Professor June Larson, Chair of the Department of Nursing said, "Our hallmark is our ability to respond to the needs of the people of South Dakota by delivering the program to the student rather than expecting the student to come to the program."
