  • Advancement and dissemination of evidence based practice nursing models that enhance health care delivery,
  • Provision of evidence based quality health care services,
  • Engagement in interprofessional and trans-disciplinary domains of scholarship (discovery, integration, application, and teaching),
  • Launch innovative programs and entrepreneurial nursing initiatives,
  • Serve as leaders within nursing discipline and health care delivery systems in the local, state, national, and international arena,
