IWU BSN Program Curriculum
Indiana Wesleyan University provides Bachelor of Science in Nursing courses for improving the mind, body, and spirit. Some nurses face the constant struggle to balance the practical needs of managed healthcare with the empathy that is at nursing's heart. IWU's nursing program teaches students how to keep that balance. Our curriculum gives students clear methods for caring for the whole person. In just 14 courses students gain a comprehensive knowledge of the nursing, management, and ethical skills needed for development in a nursing career.
The Nurse's Commitment to Lifelong Learning
IWU's curriculum provides courses that develop professional values, skills in core disciplines, and leadership through active career participation. We recognize that nursing is also a commitment to a higher purpose, and to meet that purpose you must constantly add to your body of knowledge. Knowing how to best motivate and direct your learning is a learned skill. IWU's nursing program offers courses that develop your self-directed learning abilities.
That doesn't mean you will be working alone. You become part of a cohort group, which is a class of 15 to 18 students who take the program together. You collaborate with your classmates and discuss the course material, receiving their support and experience throughout the entire program.
About the Courses
The curriculum balances leadership, ethics, research, and cutting-edge nursing courses. The affordable nursing program begins with a class that quickly brings students up to speed on the latest computer technology and information management. Next, IWU provides courses that teach key nursing skills. The curriculum teaches how to best physically assess a patient. Classes stress the impact a living environment has on a patient, including the relationship between poverty and health. Students also learn important skills for nursing in a multicultural community.
Leadership and management skills are taught, so a nurse may set and reach long-term career goals. Most importantly, courses teaching values important to effective decision making help nurses reconnect with their mission to make a difference.
