Our School
In the School of Nursing, we strongly believe, and teach our students, that true healthcare involves sociocultural understanding and spiritual encouragement in addition to the physical. You’ll find opportunities for hands-on learning in local hospitals, clinics and community outreach programs, as well as internship programs and service trips through both the School of Nursing and the Gregory Center for Medical Missions. And upon the successful completion of your first semester of your junior year you’ll qualify to work as a nurse technician at most local hospitals.
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of the School of Nursing at Palm Beach Atlantic University is one that is Christ-centered and focused on the success of the students, professionally, spiritually, and personally. The faculty and administration actively engage students in the discovery of the meaning of Christ-centered care for others. Providing care takes place in community settings, hospitals, local and global missions, as well as primary education for the community. Nursing application, synthesis, and evaluation of practice is essential in our ever-changing healthcare. The outcome of nursing education at Palm Beach Atlantic University is a competent nurse who is reflective, inquiring, and able to apply nursing theory within the context of the Christian worldview while recognizing the needs of the patient, family, and community.
Accreditation
The baccalaureate degree program in nursing, master’s degree program in nursing, and Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Palm Beach Atlantic University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and Florida Board of Nursing.
