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/her chances in participating in class
    activities with emphases 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 student's
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
on 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;

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