Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing

The mission of the Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing is to provide an exceptional nursing education to a diverse student body in an inclusive, equitable environment that will advance the delivery of outstanding health care to local and global communities.

Vision

The vision of Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing is:

• To be a leader in meeting the global need for caring, knowledgeable, and skilled nursing professionals
• To use and develop evidence-based research as the foundation for contemporary education and clinical practice
• To be an innovator in nursing education practices, methods, and techniques

The philosophy of Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing reflects the beliefs of the faculty regarding individuals, society, nursing, education, and the role of the nurse within the health-illness continuum. 

At the Nursing School, we believe that every human being possesses unique physical, social, psychological, spiritual and cultural qualities. Our viewpoint is that human beings are endowed with self-worth and dignity and have a right to have their basic needs met. The human experience is dynamic throughout the life cycle and an individual’s behavior reflects continuous interaction with the total environment.

Nursing education provides the graduate with the competencies necessary to implement nursing care based on current knowledge and concepts of the biological, social, and behavioral sciences, nursing concepts, current technology, and health care trends. The ultimate goal is to graduate nurses who deliver competent and compassionate health care, both locally and globally, and who participate in professional activities and demonstrate a commitment to lifelong learning.

Graduates are prepared to function in a collaborative role with other health care practitioners when providing and managing preventative, restorative, and supportive care to individuals. They practice in a variety of health care settings, utilizing established protocols within an ethical and legal framework.

At the Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing, we focus on three pillars within our strategic goals which are: teaching, scholarship, and service. 

Within these pillars, our goals are to:

• Expand our method and practice of teaching, maintaining our leadership in nursing education and enhancing the student’s competency to practice.
• Evolve from a lecturer and teacher paradigm to a student-centered paradigm.
• Continue to advance innovative scholarship at PSON, as befits a nationally recognized institution on the leading edge of nursing education.
• Be a leader in the local, national, and global communities by educating top quality nursing students and by collaborating within these communities to foster the health and well-being of various populations.
