3. provides exposure to a variety of problems in a variety of settings, 4. encourages maturation of the ability to utilize internal and external evaluative feedback, and 5. promotes increasing self-direction and independence. The educator as a role model enhances the learning process by demonstrating Christian caring and the skills of inquiry and discovery. Acting as an expert learner, facilitator, and resource person, the educator guides the student learner through the educational experience. We believe that education is a life-long process which facilitates the ongoing development of the learner's potentialities for continued growth as a person, citizen, and professional nurse. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate personal and professional development, Christian commitment, and nursing practice consistent with Biola University and the Department of Nursing's biblical worldview (ULO 1, 2, and 3). 2. Integrate knowledge from biblical studies, arts, sciences and humanities together with knowledge from nursing science as a basis for nursing practice (ULO 1). 3. Base nursing practice on a formulation of knowledge incorporating inter-professional communication and collaboration, teaching and learning, clinical reasoning and problem-solving, and leadership and advocacy principles (ULO 1). 4. Systematically utilize relevant data from all pertinent client systems, the environment, evidence-based clinical expertise, and patient/family preferences and values in the provision of quality and cost-effective nursing care (ULO 1). 5. Synthesize concepts related to Christian caring, stress-adaptation, developmental, interactional and systems theories in the use of the nursing process to facilitate optimal adaptation of the three client systems (personal, interpersonal, and community) through appropriate use of the prevention, restoration and conservation modes of intervention (ULO 1 and 3). 6. Apply knowledge of the relevant cultural, economic, ethical, global, legal, political, social, spiritual and technological factors and the interaction among them to optimize the practice of nursing and the delivery of health care services (ULO 1 and 2). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 6) section of this catalog.
