The Nursing Education Program supports the mission and goals of the Alabama College System and the Philosophy and Purpose of the College and serves its community by preparing associate degree nurses for a beginning level of practice in varied health care settings. The administrators and faculty of the Nursing Education Program have the responsibility for administering and evaluating the Nursing Education Program according to policies and guidelines established by the college and the Alabama Board of Nursing. Copies of the organizing framework are available upon request.

The philosophy of the nursing programs is consistent with the mission, goals and objectives of The Alabama College System. The programs provide curricula to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for entry level employment in practical and professional nursing. The nursing faculty endorses the following beliefs:

Maslow's theory is the foundation for the program of learning. According to Maslow, all individuals have similar needs arranged in a hierarchy with higher needs emerging as basic physiological needs are met. Individuals are unique biological, psychosocial, and spiritual beings who strive to meet holistic needs. Each individual has the right to make informed decisions about one's health in a technologically changing society. Society, a complex system that influences culture, values, and beliefs, provides direction and meaning to an individual's experiences throughout the lifespan.

Health, which is individually perceived, exists when needs are met. Ranging on a continuum from highest level wellness to death, health is a dynamic state. The goals of health care are to promote, maintain, and restore health.

Nursing is an art, as well as, a science in which the holistic needs of the individual are met through utilization of the nursing process in a variety of settings. The nursing process incorporates scientific principles, interpersonal and psychomotor skills, The practice of nursing takes place in an ever changing health care system and requires caring, criti-

The Physical Therapist Assistant Program is a two-year course of study leading to an Associate in Applied Science degree. The Program includes one year of prerequisite general education courses and one year of PTA courses. The prerequisite courses may be taken over a longer period of time, but seven (ENG 101, BIO 201, BIO 202, PSY 200, PSY 210, MTH 100 or higher level MTH elective, and a physical science or CIS elective) of the nine general education requirements must be completed prior to taking PTA major courses. With permission of the program coordinator, the remaining two general education requirements may be completed after a student begins PTA courses within the PTA program, however, they must be completed before the beginning of Fall Semester PTA courses. Program lecture classes are offered via the Internet (on-line/web-enhanced) or on the Shelby-Hoover campus. PTA laboratory courses are required of all students and are conducted on the Shelby-Hoover campus. The time commitment required for completion of PTA lecture and laboratory courses is generally 20-30 hours per week. Full-time clinical practicums (40 hours per week) are required of all students and are integrated throughout the program.

The PTA Program prepares graduates for work as physical therapist assistants (PTAs) and is not designed to lead toward a physical therapist degree. General education classes may transfer to a four-year institution, but PTA courses generally will not transfer.

The PTA Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education/APTA, 1111
