Upon graduation , application can be made for certification as a public health nurse. Both acceptance to and con tinuation in the nursing major will be deter mined by the student's preparation, perfor mance and personal qualities, as assessed by the faculty of the department of nursing. Philosophy: The philosophy of the De partment of Nursing is in agreement with that of the university. As such, we believe nursing is concerned with the individual 's total being. Each individual is a synergistic being, an integrated whole , uniquely created in God's image with inherent dignity and worth. The entry of sin into the world has placed a constraint on the individual 's wholeness which can only be remedied by the power and love of God through faith in Jesus Christ. God has created each individual as a dynamic being endowed with a capacity for growth and with the right to make deci sions which influence this wholeness. Each individual , created as a social being, requires social interaction to achieve and maintain wholeness. The family within the context of its culture is the fundamental unit through which the socialization process is advanced.
