Eleanor Mann School of Nursing Department Website


According to the University of Arkansas College of Education and Health Professions, "The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing contributes to the three purposes of the university: education, research and service. The mission of Eleanor Mann School of Nursing is to transform lives through nursing education and inspire leadership in nursing practice and academics to improve the health and well-being of society.

Professional nursing begins with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree. Nursing education offers a research base for nursing practice that promotes the ability of the nurse to effect change needed to improve health. In the study of professional nursing, the student builds on a planned general education for the academic disciplines and acquires theoretical and specific knowledge to meet health care needs of diverse clients in various settings. In addition, the curriculum provides opportunity for students with technical nursing education to expand their knowledge and scope of practice. The baccalaureate program establishes a foundation for graduate education in nursing and for continued personal and professional development."
