Professional Philosophy
The philosophy of the master's program in nursing at Adelphi University is to facilitate the student's transition into advanced practice nursing roles, specifically the roles of nurse educator, nurse practitioner,
emergency and disaster nurse manager, and nursing administrator; to foster the professional role development necessary for providing leadership in the delivery of healthcare; and to provide a foundation for doctoral study. At the master's level, nursing education is concerned with increasing specialization in the diverse theoretical foundations of nursing and specialization in advanced nursing practice. We expect our graduates will contribute to the development of nursing as a profession through the development, implementation and evaluation of advanced practice roles.
The emphasis of graduate education is on the development of scholarly critical thinkers with the ability to translate knowledge into practice. Through the process of critical inquiry, students learn to understand the nature of complex human and environmental systems and to develop strategies for effective intervention. Research concepts and skills are subsets of critical inquiry and are considered integral to the roles of nurse practitioner and nursing administrator. The master's curriculum is designed to provide the knowledge base and experience needed to evaluate research designs and methodologies and utilize research findings.
The philosophy of the doctoral program in nursing is to prepare expert nurse scholars who will contribute to the development of knowledge and science of nursing; advance healthcare through teaching, research and leadership; and improve the health of society.
Members of the faculty assume that each student has the potential to be self-directed and the curriculum is structured to maximize student independence, personal development, professional accountability, and continuous learning.
