About

Nursing

The Quincy College Associate of Science Degree in Nursing curriculum is based on sound educational principles and follows the mission, philosophy, and outcomes identified for the program and for the students.  The curriculum design is a blended competency and concept-based curriculum.  Delivery of the curriculum is through an active learning environment that encourages individual student contributions as they learn and 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 require consideration of the diverse student backgrounds and perspectives that are represented in our student body.

The faculty also believe in delivering a curriculum that represents current nursing practice at the level of nursing for which the student is preparing. As demonstrated by the curriculum materials, the programs include the development of nursing critical thinking/clinical reasoning; leadership and management skills; professional role socialization (including legal, ethical, and professional responsibilities) consistent with the level of licensure; and, the ability to delegate, supervise others, and provide leadership. All these components are included in the curricula as required by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing, 244 CMR 6.04.
