A MESSAGE FROM THE DEANQuincy College1250 Hancock Street, Quincy, MA 02169 www.QuincyCollege.eduSeptember 4, 2019Welcome Students,As Dean of the Academic Division of Nursing, I want to say welcome to the Fall 2019 Semester in the Division ofNursing at Quincy College.Our aim is to inspire confident and competent beginning practitioners of nursing. In response to nursing industrytrends, the Quincy College nursing program has adapted to meet the evolving and complex workforce needs andexpanded our facilities and educational processes to best prepare our students for the healthcare industry in which theywill find themselves upon graduation. A major factor impacting current nursing practice is the changing focus ofhealthcare from an illness model to a wellness/prevention model. With a greater emphasis on primary care delivery,and in the midst of hospitals downsizing, there is an increasing delivery of healthcare in community and public healthorganizations. Further, the population is aging, resulting in a greater emphasis on holistic care of senior citizens.Our nurses will serve the growing patient population, engaging with them through an expanding network of primary,secondary, tertiary, long-term, and rehab facilities designed to assist the changing and complex needs of patients, inwhich they will utilize the latest technological advancements, and will themselves serve as educators who promote,maintain, and restore health to their patients. Quincy College Nursing graduates will enter the 21st century workforcewith a solid foundation of the three primary skills sets a nurse must possess: cognitive, psychomotor, and affectiveskills. Skills they have learned in a purposeful and controlled learning environment at Quincy College.As nurses in a dynamic health care delivery system, you will never stop learning. The faculty have designed acurriculum that incorporates sound educational and learning theories as well as the standards and best practices of thenursing profession. The curriculum design is a blended competency and concept-based curriculum. Delivery of thecurriculum is through an active learning environment that encourages individual student contributions as they learnand achieve. This requires faculty to be actively involved with students in the classroom through mutual respect,responsibility, and collaboration. The teaching skills needed to deliver the concept-based curriculum requireconsideration of the diverse student backgrounds and perspectives that are represented in our student body.Sincerely,Nursing Student Handbook; Approved 12/186
