School of Nursing Unity, Diversity, and Compassion Statement
At Bushnell University’s School of Nursing we foster wisdom, faith and service and are intentional about fostering advancement and respect for all students, faculty, and staff. We follow the commandments and teachings of Jesus Christ who implored us to be one in His love and we give thanks for the rich diversity of God’s creation. A Bushnell prepared nurse has respect for the inherent dignity and unique attributes of every person. Nurses embrace and serve with love and equity the plurality and diversity of humanity in our world.
Bushnell nurses reject discrimination of any kind, be it systemic, institutional, or individual. They acknowledge the painful histories related to racism even within the nursing discipline, including education, practice, and research. In addition, the Bushnell University School of Nursing pledges not to allow an unjust past continue to determine the future. The School of Nursing promotes acceptance and social justice across all entities within our walls and we send our nursing graduates into the community prepared to do the same.
Bushnell nurse graduates affirm the inherent worth of each individual in order to protect, promote, and optimize the health and abilities of all people. They recognize inequities where they exist within the American health care system and work to rectify these inequities as a core piece of their pledge and duty as registered nurses.
