All faculty must follow the Department of Nursing Faculty Handbook of Glendale Career College and the College Handbook.

Systematic in the way we provide care in a meaningful way.

Faculty are required to integrate QSEN into nursing education because it focuses its attention on the system learning for the student in a clinical situation.

Faculty will be responsible to join discussion groups that explore Watson’s caring theory to their own work and/or to discuss Carative Factors in their individual classes.

The faculty will integrate QSEN into their individual courses in the following areas:
