Mission Statement for SGU Nursing
The Mission of the SGU nursing department is to prepare caring and conscientious practical nurses who are capable of providing for the healthcare needs of all people. We strive to create a learning environment where knowledge is sought, studied, and shared; where nursing is taught and learned in a culture of caring. Sinte Gleska University Nursing reflects the cultural heritage and traditional virtues of the Lakota Sioux to include woohitika (bravery), wacantognaka (generosity), woksape (wisdom), and wowacintanka (fortitude).
Purpose Statement
The purpose of the Sinte Gleska Nursing Program is to respond to the emerging health care needs of the individual in a changing health care system in the United States, especially on the Rosebud Reservation, a system in which practical nursing will play an ever-growing integral role, helping to provide access to health care for people in their homes, hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, extended health care facilities, and nursing homes. Practical nurses function within the standards of practice, demonstrating safe, competent and legal/ethical practice.
Philosophy Statement
Consistent with the philosophy of the institution, the practical nursing administration and faculty will work to create a climate in which students are motivated to maximize the use of their talents and abilities. The environment most conducive to learning is one in which the teacher and student share mutual respect, and where theory and clinical experiences are correlated and taught in a logical sequence. Practical nursing is an integral component of the nursing profession and provides a solid foundation for nursing education programs. Nursing education supports continuation of self-development and maintenance of competency by active involvement in continuing education.
