Mission Statement
We aim to provide students with a solid foundation necessary to climb the
nursing career ladder through the implementation of our curriculum that
embodies the following:
  • Participation - that every student will have his or her chances in
    participating in class activities with emphasis in the importance of
    understanding individual opinions, questions, and the needs for
    communication;
  • Return Demonstration - by providing everyone the chance to
    verbalize, role-play, and or problem-solve a situation.
Preferred College of Nursing Programs are designed to impart the basic
knowledge and demonstrative ability necessary for entry level employment.

The Philosophy:

We want to ensure that Preferred College of Nursing (PCN) is a pleasant
environment conducive to students' academic success and provide
opportunities for their personal growth and development.  PCN staff and
management consider discipline as a tool for guiding and teaching rather
than punishment.  Since behavior, which is not in keeping with acceptable
standards, is often symptomatic of attitudes, misconceptions, and emotional
crises, the treatment of these symptoms through education, rehabilitative
activities, corrective measures, and solution strategies is an essential
element of the disciplinary process to be undertaken by the Office of
Student Affairs and Discipline.

Our Mission:

The Office of Student Affairs and Discipline (OSAD) has overall
responsibility for student welfare and student life in campus.  This office is
committed to accomplish the following:

  • To facilitate student learning opportunities for ethical and development
    in connection with disciplinary, grievance, and conflict resolution
    processes;

  • Provide information and assistance to students regarding grievance
    processes and student rights; respond to student grievances in a
    manner that fosters a climate of fairness, civility, and mutual respect;

  • To support the College's educational purposes and goals by enforcing,
    drafting, and interpreting standards of behavior and related policies and
    procedures;

  • Review, revise, and interpret campus policies pertaining to student
    responsibilities and rights; maintain centralized and confidential student
    disciplinary records; and

  • Provide leadership opportunities for students in outreach, peer
    education, and student discipline.
