Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Nursing] From California State University

The Bachelor of Science Nursing curriculum at California State University San Marcos is built on a self-care model. This model assumes that persons are usually capable of providing their own needs related to health. Sometimes persons cannot take care of themselves because of injury, disease, or insufficient health-related knowledge. Nursing care helps such people recover their self-care abilities through health promotion, health mainte nance and health restoration.

The nursing program at CSUSM places strong emphasis on delivering skillful, culturally sensitive nursing care. Each student will be proficient in a language-other-than-English and be aware of culturally driven health care practices. Students will be able to provide nursing care to diverse individuals and communi ties. Students take advantage of clinical experiences in a variety of acute care and community settings, and are able to provide nursing case management interventions for a variety of vulnerable populations.

The nursing Program at Cal State San Marcos prepares students for multiple career tracks within the profession. Students who complete the undergraduate program will have knowledge and skills for general nursing practice, will be well prepared for entry into graduate level nursing programs, and will be qualified to assume leadership roles in health care organizations, clinics, and community agencies.
