1 UCLA SCHOOL OF NURSING ANNOUNCEMENT OCTOBER 2011 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES

2 Message from the Dean The UCLA School of Nursing was established on the Los Angeles campus in 1949 and rapidly became a leading school of nursing in the U.S. Now the school enjoys a national and international reputation for excellence in teaching, research, and clinical practice. One of the strengths of the School of Nursing is its teaching of the scientific basis for nursing practice, leadership, and research. Related clinical experiences are arranged within the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, its affiliates, or in selected community sites. The school offers Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree programs. There is one undergraduate degree program option: Nursing B.S. (Prelicensure). The prelicensure program, with admission at the freshman level, is designed for students who wish to become registered nurses. The Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) degree program also offers prelicensure and postlicensure options. The Master s Entry Clinical Nurse (MECN)/prelicensure program is designed for students with a bachelor s degree in another discipline who wish to become registered nurses. The advanced practice nurse (APN)/postlicensure program is for registered nurses with a bachelor s degree in nursing who wish to prepare for an advanced practice role, such as nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or nurse administrator. Advanced practice specialties include acute care, adult, family, gerontology, nursing administration, occupational and environmental health, oncology, and pediatrics. The Ph.D. program prepares scholars who conduct original research, generate new theories, and build the scientific basis for professional nursing practice. Research is both basic and applied. The UCLA School of Nursing has an exceptionally well qualified faculty, many of whom have earned national and international reputations for excellence. The school is consistently ranked high for its teaching and research programs. The innovative curriculum is responsive to national needs in healthcare and the diversity of the patient population. Graduates of the program are sought by healthcare institutions and educational programs, and many alumni have become leaders in the field. Education in this research-intensive University with its full range of academic disciplines provides a rich environment for preparation in the health sciences. In addition, UCLA includes one of the top medical centers in the world, providing students with a cutting-edge learning environment. We welcome your interest in the UCLA School of Nursing and encourage you to enter our academic programs in this exciting and challenging field of healthcare. Courtney H. Lyder Professor and Dean, School of Nursing 1

History of the School In 1949 The Regents of the University of California authorized the School of Nursing as one of the professional schools of the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences. This action paved the way in 1950 for the opening of an undergraduate generic program in nursing leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree and made possible the establishment of a graduate program leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Nursing in In 1966 the Master of Nursing (M.N.) degree was established as an alternate option to the M.S. degree. The M.S. degree program was discontinued in The Regents approved the Doctor of Nursing Science (D.N.Sc.) degree program in 1986, and in 1987 the first doctoral students were admitted. In 1996 the Office of the President and The Regents approved the change in the master s degree designation from M.N. to Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.); the change in doctoral degree designation from D.N.Sc. to Ph.D. in Nursing was approved in The original generic B.S. program curriculum was revised in 1997 to meet the educational needs of students who are registered nurses with Associate Degrees or diplomas in nursing. In 2006 the school reinstated a generic/ prelicensure B.S. program with admission at the freshman level and launched the master s entry clinical nurse (MECN)/prelicensure program option within the M.S.N. degree program, which is designed for prelicensure students with bachelor s degrees in another discipline. In 2010 the B.S. (Generic/Prelicensure) program was renamed to the B.S. (Prelicensure) program. All School of Nursing bachelor s and master s programs have Board of Registered Nursing approval. In 2010 the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited the existing bachelor s and master s degree programs for a term of 10 years. Philosophy of the School The UCLA School of Nursing is guided by a philosophy that embodies the mission and goals of the University of California. The philosophy addresses nursing, the clients of nursing, and nursing students. The school is committed to an interdisciplinary learning environment. Nursing encompasses clinical practice, education, research, consultation, leadership, management, and service to the profession and the local and global 7

10 community. It involves individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities as clients. The profession must consider the human and physical environments that interact with these clients who may have health conditions that range from wellness to illness. Nursing activities must therefore include health promotion and maintenance, intervention and treatment, rehabilitation and restoration, and palliation. At an advanced practice level, nursing involves comprehensive healthcare that encompasses the responsibility and accountability for continuity of care across the health/illness spectrum. Nursing research is both applied and basic and has as its core actual or potential human responses to illness and as its goal the development of nursing science. Guided by ethical standards that consider the perspectives of the client, the healthcare provider, and the larger society, nursing has a social mission that encompasses the right and responsibility to provide leadership in health policy and healthcare to all its clients regardless of disease status, gender, race, or culture. People who receive client-centered nursing care are complex individuals who exist in relationship to others in their family and community. This complexity of person involves biological, behavioral, emotional, sociocultural, and spiritual dimensions. Each individual reflects a unique combination of these dimensions that interact dynamically with the environment. The clients of nursing are autonomous decision makers who have certain values and knowledge about themselves that not only are relevant but essential to successful healthcare outcomes. As a result, persons have a right and a responsibility to participate collaboratively in their care with the nurse and other health professionals. Successful nursing students are active learners who bring unique gender, cultural, and ethnic life experiences to the professional practice of nursing. Students at all levels learn relevant theory, acquire practice skills, and are socialized into the profession of nursing. Increasing levels of complexity and sophistication of learning and socialization are expected of students in the different programs. Whether at the beginning practice, advanced practice, or scholar level, nursing students learn to apply knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes in their practice that may include educative, administrative, and research arenas. While students have the right and responsibility to participate in their own learning, faculty members have the right and responsibility to 8 structure the teaching/learning environment to facilitate learning. Individual academic counseling and a variety of one-on-one, small-group, and interactive learning formats assist students to meet program and individual learning goals. Mission of the School The mission of the UCLA School of Nursing is to advance nursing science through the conduct and dissemination of research and expand its national and international leadership in the educational preparation of nurses. The school is committed to preparing scholarly and highly qualified nurses at all levels for the provision of quality nursing care for a diverse multicultural society. The mission of the school focuses on three areas: education, research, and practice. The dominant mission is education of nurses at the undergraduate, master s, and doctoral levels. At the generic bachelor s level, nurses are prepared as generalists with special skills in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and care within a population-based context, leadership, and evidence-based practice. A program designed for associate degree or diploma nurses provides an opportunity to learn about communitybased nursing care while providing a foundation for entering the advanced practice nurse master s degree program. At the master s level, nurses are prepared as generalists in hospitalbased care or for advanced nursing practice as nurse practitioners, clinical specialists, or administrators in a variety of settings and specialized areas of healthcare. At the doctoral level, students are prepared as emerging scholars to advance nursing knowledge and science through systematic research. As graduates of the programs, all students are prepared to function as leaders in academic, healthcare, and governmental/policy settings. Advancing nursing science through significant and methodologically rigorous research is a critical component of the school s mission. The school is recognized as being one of the top schools of nursing in the country. The faculty is committed to increasing its standing in national and international research arenas. To this end, the faculty continues collaborative relationships with scientists and clinicians in other schools and departments at UCLA, within the University of California, at other university campuses, and at cooperative, clinical and research-oriented institutions locally, regionally, and internationally. The promotion of expert clinical practice is inherent with the mission and encompasses contributions of clinical expertise and knowledge to the community. This is accomplished by sharing innovations in nursing care and health promotion and by the participation of the faculty in the delivery of expert nursing care to specialized populations, including the underserved and vulnerable populations. B.S. Degree Program Goals Graduates of the UCLA B.S. degree program are able to assume responsibility for organizing, implementing, and evaluating hospital-, population-, and/or community-based plans of nursing care for a highly complex and culturally diverse society. The prelicensure program prepares students with a focus on primary, secondary, and/or tertiary prevention and treatment. Students successfully completing this program are nurses prepared as generalists with special skills in clinical leadership. The program integrates multiculturalism and prepares students well for the changing healthcare system and the healthcare needs of California s demographically diverse population. Students successfully completing the B.S. degree also acquire an educational foundation for entry into the master s program that prepares advanced practice nurses for roles as nurse practitioners, clinical specialists, and administrators in primary and acute care, or entry into the Ph.D. program that prepares nurse scientists. After completing the B.S. program, graduates are able to complete the following objectives: 1. Select, evaluate, and apply appropriate theory and research findings concerning individual- and population-based health promotion and disease prevention, biobehavioral and health systems, social environment, and cultural and human diversity to the nursing process with a variety of clients, families, and communities from diverse cultural backgrounds 2. Utilize the nursing process to promote biopsychosocial health and disease prevention and to support the resources of culturally diverse clients and families in community- and/or hospital-based settings 3. Demonstrate effective communication and collaboration skills with clients and their families, research

11 participants, other health professionals, colleagues, and policymakers 4. Identify practice-based problems and hypotheses and critique research on issues of importance to nursing and healthcare delivery within culturally diverse hospital- and community-based settings 5. Participate in professional and community organizations and/or interest groups relevant to healthcare delivery and modify nursing standards and practices in keeping with current trends 6. Demonstrate leadership as a member of the health team to plan, manage, and evaluate care of individuals, families, and communities for culturally diverse populations 7. Practice hospital- and communitybased nursing based on the principles of ethics and law M.S.N. Degree Program Goals The primary aim of the M.S.N. program is to prepare scholarly and highly qualified nurses who can function in a variety of settings and specialized areas of healthcare for a diverse multicultural society. There are two M.S.N. degree program options: the master s entry clinical nurse (MECN)/prelicensure program and advanced practice nurse (APN)/ postlicensure program. Master s Entry Clinical Nurse (MECN)/Prelicensure Program Goals The master s entry clinical nurse (MECN)/prelicensure program option is designed for students with a bachelor s degree in another field and strives to produce nurse generalists with special leadership skills and cultural competency who assume accountability for healthcare outcomes for a specific group of clients through the assimilation and application of research-based information. These nurses function in the acute hospital-based setting as well as a variety of community settings. MECN nurses apply core concepts of ethical and social justice, research, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, advanced research and system theory, and healthcare policy to their role as provider and manager of care at the point of care to individuals and cohorts. The program provides an M.S.N. degree and eligibility to take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) to be certified as an R.N. after completion of the program. In addition, graduates of the MECN program are prepared to sit for national certification as Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL) and as such are prepared to implement outcomes-based practice and quality improvement in clinical settings. After completing the MECN/prelicensure M.S.N. degree program, graduates are able to complete the following objectives: 1. Select, evaluate, and apply, in an acute hospital and a variety of other settings, basic and advanced theoretical knowledge of core concepts, including advanced leadership and healthcare systems to the nursing process in order to deliver healthcare to clients from ethnically diverse cultural backgrounds 2. Analyze health problems at a unit, aggregate (community), and systems level and develop nursing interventions that balance the health needs at the unit and cohort levels 3. Demonstrate effective communication and collaboration skills with clients, research participants, other health professionals, colleagues, and policymakers 4. Evaluate existing nursing and healthcare systems research, apply findings to nursing practice, and participate in the development of new knowledge 5. Demonstrate leadership and system skills and critical thinking that contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of nursing and healthcare 6. Practice hospital- and communitybased nursing based on the principles of ethics and law 7. Participate in professional and community organizations and/or interest groups relevant to healthcare delivery and modify nursing standards and practices in keeping with current trends Advanced Practice Nurse (APN)/ Postlicensure Program Goals The advanced practice nurse (APN)/ postlicensure program option prepares nurse practitioners, nurse administrators, and clinical nurse specialists. In their practice these advanced practice nurses use logic and reason distinguished by intellectual curiosity and individual creativity. Advanced practice nurses apply multidisciplinary theories, including nursing, biologic, behavioral, management, social/environmental, and organization theories to develop, implement, and evaluate models of patient care and quality of services. They are able to competently assess, diagnose, plan, implement, manage, and evaluate the care of patients, groups of patients, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. The curriculum prepares students for careers in advanced practice or management. Students who complete the curriculum are eligible to sit for the specialty certification examination. After completing the APN/postlicensure M.S.N. degree program within an area of advanced practice, graduates are able to complete the following objectives: 9

12 1. Evaluate and apply, in a variety of settings, advanced theoretical knowledge in order to deliver healthcare to clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, including organizations and communities 2. Demonstrate communication skills through collaboration with clients in healthcare plans 3. Evaluate existing nursing research, utilize research findings to advanced nursing practice, and participate in the development of new knowledge 4. Demonstrate leadership skills and critical thinking that contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of nursing and healthcare 5. Develop and maintain a practice environment based on the principles of ethics and law in which ethical dilemmas are rightfully resolved 6. Consult and collaborate with clients and other health professionals in the development, implementation, and evaluation of healthcare delivery, policies, and programs at the local, state, and national levels In addition, functional objectives for each area of advanced practice in the M.S.N. degree program allow 1. Nurse practitioners to deliver advanced nursing care through the assessment, diagnosis, and management of health/illness needs in primary healthcare, assuming responsibility and accountability for the continuity of healthcare in both health and illness states 2. Nurse administrators to provide leadership and perform administrative roles, including direct healthcare administration, risk management, quality improvement, case management, education, or research support, within acute, long-term, ambulatory, and community settings with a focus on improving patient and organizational outcomes 3. Clinical nurse specialists to deliver advanced nursing care in a clinical specialty and perform advanced practice consultative, educative, leadership, and research roles in inpatient and outpatient settings Ph.D. Degree Program Goals The primary aim of the Ph.D. program in nursing science is to educate scholars who, through the conduct of original research and the generation of theory, build the scientific knowledge base for the advancement of nursing practice, research, and healthcare policy. This research focuses on the individual, family, community, and organizational systems within the context of cultural diversity and across the lifespan to optimize health outcomes for all. The program emphasizes specific areas of study in which nursing makes significant contributions toward health. These areas are defined by the research expertise of the faculty in the context of the interdisciplinary resources available at the academic and health sciences campus and the local, national, and international community. The breadth of focus of the Ph.D. curriculum ranges from nursing research in the biologic sciences to health services research. The areas or core strands of the Ph.D. program are biobehavioral sciences, biologic sciences, health disparities/ vulnerable populations, and health services. After completing the Ph.D. program, graduates are able to complete the following objectives: 1. Design, conduct, and evaluate original research 2. Generate and/or test theory 3. Contribute significantly to the development of nursing science 4. Collaborate with research participants, clinicians, and researchers from multiple disciplines in the design and conduct of research and the development of science 5.

Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center The Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center (Student Health Service) is the campus health service and an outpatient health facility for all registered UCLA students. Many services are subsidized by registration fees, but there are minimal fees for all services. Visit, core laboratory test, and X-ray fees are all no-charge for students with the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UCSHIP). There are copays for pharmaceuticals. Service fees for students without UCSHIP are billed directly to students BruinBill accounts. If a student withdraws, is dismissed, or takes a leave of absence during a term, he or she continues to be eligible for health services for the remainder of the term at full cost. If a student with UCSHIP withdraws, UCSHIP continues through the remainder of the term. The cost of services received outside the Ashe Center is each student s financial responsibility. Students who waive UCSHIP must ensure that they are enrolled in a plan qualified to cover expenses incurred outside of the Ashe Center. Office hours during the academic year are weekdays 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. except Friday, when service begins at 9 a.m. Located at 221 Westwood Plaza (next to John Wooden Center); see For emergency care when the Ashe Center is closed, students may obtain treatment at the UCLA Medical Center Emergency Room or the nearest emergency room on a fee-for-service basis. It is the student's responsibility to have insurance billed. A student with SHIP must have follow-up visits, after emergencies, in the Ashe Center. If care cannot be provided in the Ashe Center, the Ashe Center clinician will give the student a written referral to a network provider. All students must complete a health clearance process which includes but is not limited to a physical examination, two-step PPD or clear chest x-ray, and confirmation of immunity to tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, and hepatitis B prior to entering clinical courses. Students are required to provide a follow-up PPD prior to each year of clinical practice coursework. Students are not allowed to enroll in clinical coursework until all clinical clearance data are received by the School of Nursing Compliance Officer. All UCLA students are automatically assessed for and enrolled in UCSHIP as a condition of registration at UCLA. Continued enrollment in qualified medical/health insurance must be maintained during all registered terms. UCSHIP fees are billed along with other UCLA fees each academic term. UCSHIP fulfills all of the requirements mandated for qualified medical/health insurance as defined by the University. The Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center is the primary health care provider for UCSHIP and is where all nonemergency medical care must be initiated for UCSHIP claim payment 15

18 consideration. See health.ucla.edu. Students may waive UCSHIP if they (1) maintain active enrollment in a qualified medical/health insurance plan that meets all established requirements, (2) apply for a UCSHIP waiver each term within established deadlines, and (3) correctly complete the online UCSHIP waiver form.
