Hays, PhD, RNPresidentp. 2President’s MessageRegis College has a rich history of educatingstudents who succeed in a complex, changingworld. We offer the full range of degrees fromthe associate and bachelors to the master’s anddoctorate, and all degree programs are open toboth women and men. Our undergraduate enrollmenthas been growing, and Regis is a leaderin graduate program innovation.p. 2Here you will be encouraged to think acrossthe disciplines and become a positive influenceon society. Today, you are a student challengingyourself intellectually. Tomorrow, you willhave strengthened your knowledge and talentsso that, wherever you go on the globe, you canbring your insight and skill to those who need it.p. 5HISTORY(Second Paragraph)In the first decade of this century, Regis Collegehas itself walked a path of transformation.In January 2007, Regis began offering its firstdoctoral program (the DNP or Doctorate ofNursing Practice). In September 2007, RegisCollege officially and seamlessly made the co-edtransition and opened its doors to men as wellas women undergraduates. In 2008, the Regisfaculty strengthened the core curriculum at Registhrough a major revamping. For 2008–2011,and again for 2011–2015, Regis has been renameda Center of Excellence in Nursing Educationby the National League of Nursing—oneof the first nursing programs in New Englandto be so designated. In 2009–2010, the Collegebuilt aesthetically pleasing, state-of-the-art athleticfields on its north side. And in 2010 thecollege began implementing ten interdisciplinaryPathways of Achievement to guide all whostudy here—graduate and undergraduate studentsalike—through various arts and sciences tothe realization of their academic and professionalgoals.

Essentials of Nutritionalong the Health Continuum provides thebasic material needed to understand clinical nutritionconcepts (for example, the role of nutritionin preventing and treating human diseasessuch as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis)and will provide practical informationfor using nutritional concepts, addressing nutritionalconcerns and incorporating nutrition intoplans of care. (Formerly, NU 105.)NU 203 Introduction to NursingAn introductory course for the student to discussthe discipline of nursing from its historicalroots through current status and future trends.The course introduces the novice to the philosophyand concepts of baccalau reate education innursing. The relationship between nursing andnon-nursing courses is considered in the developmentof the professional nurse. Roles of theprofessional nurse are examined with regard totheory, research, and practice, as well as professional,social, legal, and political issues. Examinationof the use of the nursing process will furtherdevelop necessary critical thinking skills.
