The mission of the Department of Nursing (DON) AAS/PN is “committed to excellence in  nursing education…to ensure that our graduates know success, employ technological skills and enrich their community, nation and perhaps the world.” The DON AAS/PN philosophy addresses our commitment to creating a society in which each human being is valued and supported, which is consistent with the MEC motto “creating success one student at a time”.

1. Provide a three step career ladder in nursing education.
2. Maintain academic excellence and encourage life long learning.
3. Reflect the awareness of the holistic health care needs of the residents of Central Brooklyn and all of New York City.
4. Ensure the graduate's readiness for entry into the rapidly changing inner city urban health care delivery system.
