Statement of Philosophy

Consistent with SCC's mission, vision and core values, the philosophy of the Nursing Program was developed by faculty members in 1980, at the inception of the program, and has been periodically revised to more specifically address beliefs about the nursing practice, the practice of associate degree nursing and nursing education.

Florida Nursing Student Association and Nursing Student Association

The key to the future of the profession of nursing is having a strong, unified voice that represents our needs as nurses. SCC's nursing student organization is the precursor of your future professional involvement.

The Florida Nursing Student Association (FNSA) is the largest independent student professional organization in the state and is designed specifically for nursing students. On a state level, the FNSA's interests include legislative and educational activities, as well as health projects.

The FNSA comprises nearly 25,000 nursing students who take advantage of the activities and benefits the association offers. The FNSA's leadership activities provide you the opportunity to:

  • Serve as a representative in the annual House of Delegates.
  • Run for state and national office.
  • Win scholarships, contests and prizes for you and your school.
  • Influence your future nursing practice.

Meetings will be scheduled during the College's designated Wednesday activity hour or at other times that are mutually agreed upon by the members.

Nursing Program Policies

The policies contained in the Nursing Student Handbook, including all policies regarding criminal background checks, immunizations, CPR certification and OSHA standards training, apply to students in SCC's nursing programs. Nursing students are also expected to comply with all other SCC policies, as outlined in the College Catalog and SCC Student Handbook.
