Brief History of the Department
Nursing Science has being one of the courses proposed for the College of Health Sciences at the point of establishment but the decision to run the programme was actualized in 2014 when the National Universities Commission (NUC) was invited and visited for “Resource Verification” to confirm the preparedness of the University to mount the programme. Prior to this, a team of Academics in Nursing assisted in developing the curriculum using the NUC Minimum Academic Benchmark Standard (BMAS) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria’s Standard for Education and Practice (2010) and other relevant curricula (NMCN’s General Nursing and Midwifery curricula and the West African Health Examination Board Curriculum) as guide. Equipment for the Nursing and Midwifery Laboratories were also provided before the Resource Verification Exercise. Clinical sites for students’ clinical learning were identified and Memoranda of Understanding signed with the management of some facilities for clinical experiences of students, and more are being processed with other sites. A departmental library to complement the University library was also provided. Following resource verification in 2014, the University continues to improve resources for the programme by providing more facilities (more offices, more classrooms, the Public Health Nursing Laboratory, e-library supported with e-books and e-journals for use of students and staff of the department; recruitment of more staff). The programme started with a student population of 72 though only 54 of the admitted students successfully passed to 200 level to get to the College of Health Sciences for the 2014/2015 session. The first set of students to the BNSc degree programme was admitted to the College after the NUC Resource Verification Exercise and a positive report from the National Universities Commission for the 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and the students for 2016/2017 have just resumed at the University.

BACHELOR OF NURSING SCIENCES DEGREE PROGRAMME (BNSc )
1.0 Introduction
University education for the nurse within the global framework gives recognition to the professional requirement and challenges of responding to health and health care needs of diverse populations with different health care needs. The professional nurse with university education acquires appropriate knowledge to drive his/her competencies to provide quality care based on new evidence in meeting individual and group health care needs within the lifecycle framework. Providing quality care in a consistently changing health care system driven by evidence in the multidisciplinary environment of care also challenges the nurse in the 21st century to have a responsive education that prepares him/her to function in a technologically moderated environment. The nurse with university education in the Nigeria context would also be expected to function in the health team with high intellectual capacity to resolve peculiar health care needs of Nigeria citizens and yet have high capacity to perform in a dynamic global context of international education.

The BNSc degree programme, through liberal and professional education prepares the nurses who can engage in intellectual discourses and analysis, critical thinking, who can use evidence to inform judgments and communicate thoughts clearly within the context of appropriate value clarifications. The graduate of the BNSc programme is capable of performing nursing skills in a variety of settings and across the three levels of primary, secondary and tertiary health care, therapeutically assisting individuals with diverse backgrounds and health problems. She/he will understand the social, psychosocial, and physical factors involved in the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health and will be able to analyse these factors in the context of how they translate to health needs while also relating them to appropriate health services, programmes and nursing care for the benefits of the consumers of health care. She/he will be able to assess health programmes in their broadest scope, with major emphasis on how such programmes or services contribute to the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. She/he will be able to relate the role of the health services to the broader social system.

The Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) degree programme is unique in the context of preparing polyvalent graduate nurses who are capable of meeting diverse health care needs of different people as individuals and groups across the life span yet in a health care framework that gives priority focus to primary health care. The graduate from the programme also has desirable base to practice in secondary and tertiary health care settings with high potentials for higher education and advance practice in an ever changing health care environment. These understanding of the nature of the graduate nurse from the BNSc degree programme and the national and international context of practice and professional growth gives guide to the philosophy, the contents of the curriculum and the implementation of the programme at the College of Health Sciences of the Osun State University.

2.0 The Philosophy of the Programme
The philosophy of the BNSc degree Programme derives 
• The nature of human beings who are the consumers of health care and nursing services 
• The professional context of nursing, nursing education and practice globally and in Nigeria
• The objects, vision and mission of the Osun State University
The Programme believes that:
(i) Human beings as bio-psycho-social beings have health and health care needs that are the focus of nursing; all functions and activities in professional nursing practice are directed at helping human beings as members of families and communities to achieve optimal health within the bio-psycho-social framework. It is believed that nursing is a helping process of interactions, working with people as individuals, families and communities to attain, maintain, restore and sustain optimal level of healthy living at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of care. 
(ii) Working within the health team, in which the individual, the family and the community play significant roles, is the most effective approach to promotion, maintenance and restoration of health.
(iii) professional nursing practice in the century and thereafter depends on programmes that can maximise knowledge from the arts, sciences, humanities and nursing for evidence based professional practice as depicted by involvement in research and continued acquisition of new knowledge and promotion of self development through self-directed learning by graduates
(iv) the roles and responsibilities of the nurse are changing and a professional nursing programme should build capacity of learners in analysing the change process, in deciding on change which is desirable or undesirable, possible, probable, or impossible, and in accepting responsibilities to take action for what would be needed to support change.
(v) The nurse, prepared for professional nursing practice through liberal and professional education and capable of using multiple resources (human and material) should have high competence in helping the individual, family and community to manage their health benefitting maximally from health care services with the nurse doing this through the use of the analytic-synthetic process, the application of appropriate technical skills and feeling response, and in cooperation with other disciplines. 
(vi) For the nurse to engage in professional practice that will be protective of consumers of nursing services, he/she must be highly knowledgeable to be able to engage in the cognitive analytic-synthesis process, and must be highly competent as to efficiently apply appropriate technical skills using up-to-date technology in helping clients and must be highly responsive to human feelings as he/she works in cooperation and collaboration with clients and other health and social science disciplines in the multi-disciplinary health care environment .
(vii) The education of the nurse to meet the demands of changing health care needs of individuals, families and communities in a rapidly …..changing 
(viii) Nursing is a science that is based on the knowledge of behaviors that enable changes in the client system to be monitored by utilizing the scientific method of inquiry whilst providing nursing intervention to individuals, families, groups and communities at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of health care.
(ix) Professional nursing education is built upon a theoretical base that seeks to develop continuous self-directed practitioners who will advance and test knowledge on which practice is based. Current health care demands require an innovative approach in professional preparation, and a curriculum that is responsive to the changing health needs of the society. 
(x) Learners should be assisted in using relevant and proven learning methods that support problem solving based on rational knowledge moderated by emerging trend in technology.
