2024 - 2034 Strategic Plan
Unbounded: Connecting Learning and Life
The Faculty of Nursing’s newly-minted 2024-2034 Strategic Plan Unbounded: Connecting Learning and Life will bring previous strategic visions to life and guide the next era of nursing education and research excellence.
The Faculty of Nursing’s previous Strategic Plan laid out activities for the years 2021-2026. The pandemic had a wide-ranging impact on nearly every aspect of society, including post-secondary institutions. The Faculty of Nursing responded to educational programming and delivery disruptions, workforce disruptions, and economic disruptions with a steadfast determination to support transformational educational opportunities. These disruptions created an opportunity to revisit the 2021-2026 strategic priorities to focus on the “why” of our Faculty of Nursing.
We recognize that the development of robust and timely change requires deliberate actions over time. The Faculty of Nursing 2024-2034 Plan, Unbounded: Connecting Learning and Life, is a long-term commitment to reshape nursing education.
The Faculty of Nursing’s strategic priorities, called Primary Intentions, will provide the roadmap for moving the Faculty forward in a respectful, inclusive and intentional way over the next ten years.
Primary Intentions
Dismantle Oppressions, Racism, and Hate
We are committed to improving educational and nursing practices through embedding equity, diversity, inclusivity, anti-racism, reconciliatory, and decolonization practices within our teaching, research, and administrative activities.
Generate Curiosity to Investigate Influential Questions
Thought leadership is a driving force within a university setting. To be an effective thought leader, knowledge translation and dissemination activities are critical.
Value the Connectedness between the Environment, the Person, Health, and Nursing
Nursing's metaparadigm is a heuristic that emphasizes interdependent relations among the environment, humans, health, and nursing.
Engage in and Develop Reciprocal Relations
We are committed to better understanding our relational impact with students, community, staff, and faculty.
