Mission, Vision, Values, & Philosophy

The mission of the Duke University School of Nursing reads as follows: "We, at the Duke University School of Nursing, advance health equity and social justice by preparing nurse leaders and innovators with a commitment to improving health outcomes through transformative excellence in education, clinical practice, and nursing science."

Vision Statement

Together transforming the future of nursing to advance health with individuals, families and communities.

Excellence: We are entrusted to provide the highest quality education for our students and lead in the discovery of advances that improve the health of others.

Integrity: We are committed to honesty, transparency, and accountability for our actions and outcomes.

Collaboration: Through collaboration and teamwork, we multiply the impact of our work for the greatest possible benefit.

Respect: We treat others with civility, kindness, and as equals in all interactions, and recognize that all members of our community offer valuable contributions.

Innovation: We thrive on bold creativity and ingenuity, finding solutions that define the future.

Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging: Celebrate our diversity, eliminate barriers that prevent full participation of all, and strive for institutional equity.

Duke University School of Nursing is committed to achieving distinction in research, education, and patient care predicated on our beliefs regarding human beings, society, and the environment, health and health care delivery, nursing, and teaching and learning.

Human Beings

We believe that the dignity of each human being is to be respected and nurtured, and embracing our diversity affirms, respects, and celebrates the uniqueness of each person. We believe that each human being is a unique expression of attributes, behaviors, and values which are influenced by their environment, social norms, cultural values, physical characteristics, experiences, religious beliefs, and practices. We also believe that human beings exist in relation to one another, including families, communities, and populations.

Society/Environment

As sociocultural beings, humans are affected by and, in turn, influence the environments in which they exist, environments that are both internal (i.e., physiological, psychological, ethical) and external (i.e., cultural, political, social, economic, professional, global). Such environments influence the health of individuals and groups, and also influence health care delivery systems, access to care, and health disparities. We believe that society has a responsibility for providing environments that are conducive to maximizing the potential of its individual members and of society as a whole, for eliminating long-term inequities that contribute to health disparities, and for creating systems and roles that protect its members.

We believe that optimal health does not preclude the existence of illness; health and illness exist on parallel continuums such that even people with chronic or debilitating illness may experience optimal levels of health through adaptation. We believe that all humans, from infants to the oldest of age, have a capacity to adapt to health and illness challenges whether they arise from environmental or genetic origins. Nursing’s role is to assess, support adaptation, or intervene when the appropriate ability does not exist within the individual or group. Because health is an innate characteristic of humans, we believe that high-quality health care is a human right.

Health Care Delivery

Maintaining optimal health and preventing disease for individuals, families, communities, and populations depend on collaborative partnerships between patients/families/communities, and teams of interprofessional providers of care. We believe that health care must be patient-centered and that mutual trust between patients and providers is created by relationships that reflect respect for dignity, diversity, integrity, self-determination, empathy, and a capacity for grace and empowerment. Patients/families/communities must be supported and encouraged in making care decisions and in engaging in the adaptive work needed for responding to health or illness challenges as they transition through all levels of the care system.

Nursing exists as a function of society for the protection of its members through legally sanctioned roles, responsibilities, and scopes of practice. We believe that nursing is a scholarly discipline centered on assisting people to protect, promote, and optimize their health and abilities, prevent illness and injury, and alleviate suffering. Nursing achieves this through the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to health-threatening conditions, advocacy in the care of individuals and groups, and the generation and translation of research findings for nursing practice. Nursing is committed to a holistic and evidence-based approach to human caring and compassion; respecting the dignity, self-determination, and worth of all human beings. It is our belief that nursing focuses on the uniqueness of each human being, guided by the systematic process of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation; the goal of which is to optimize the quality of adaptation in human beings.

We believe that nursing has a moral responsibility to the common good and an obligation to social justice and equitable access to culturally sensitive, high-quality care for all human beings. Nurses also are responsible for helping to reduce health disparities and reaching out to those, locally or abroad, who are vulnerable.

We believe that nurses begin as novices and progress to experts, with increasing complexities of knowledge, skills, and values needed to promote, maintain, restore, support, and maximize adaptation of humans as they fluctuate along the wellness and illness continuums. We affirm our commitment to scientific inquiry, the advancement of knowledge and understanding, and the transfer of that knowledge to others for the good of society through innovation and the novel application of technology. We believe that all nurses must practice to the full scope of their education and training in environments where laws, standards of practice, and reimbursement regulations are commensurate with education and experience.

Teaching/Learning

We believe that our purpose is to develop nurse leaders in practice, education, administration, and research by focusing on students’ intellectual growth and development as adults committed to high ethical standards and full participation in their communities. We recognize that it is the responsibility of all individuals to assume ownership of and responsibility for ongoing learning, as well as to continually refine the skills that facilitate critical inquiry for lifelong learning.

The Duke University School of Nursing promotes an intellectual environment that is built on a commitment to free and open inquiry and is a center of excellence for the promotion of scholarship and advancement of nursing science, practice, and education. We affirm that it is the responsibility of faculty to create and nurture academic initiatives that strengthen our engagement of real world issues by anticipating new models of knowledge formation and applying knowledge to societal issues. This, we believe, equips students with the necessary cognitive skills, clinical reasoning, clinical imagination, professional identity, and commitment to the values of the profession that are necessary to function as effective and ethical nurse leaders in situations that are underdetermined, contingent, and changing over time.

A Leadership Framework for Implementation of an Organization's Strategic Plan.

Many schools of nursing have employed strategic planning as resources have become limited and demands for organizational efficiency have increased. Although the process of developing a strategic plan has been described in the literature, there is little information about how to implement and evaluate a plan. In this paper, we provide an overview of one nursing school's strategic plan development and the implementation and evaluation processes. Our paper provides a detailed description of the leadership framework used to shape, implement and evaluate the plan and makes recommendations for their application to other schools engaging in strategic planning.

Advancing Research and Care: Duke Infectious Diseases Division’s Impact

Department of Medicine logo superimposed on an image of research publications sitting open

Academic productivity is at the core of advancing medical knowledge, with research efforts driving improvements in patient care and shaping future treatment approaches. In the Duke Department of Medicine (DOM), this commitment to research is evident across all departments, where faculty continually contribute to the broader medical community. The DOM Division of Infectious Diseases is a prime example of this, with its faculty publishing over 400 papers between 2023 and early 2024 alone, showcasing the division's ongoing efforts to advance the field. 

John Perfect, MD

Under the leadership of Dr. John Perfect, division chief for 14 years, the faculty has demonstrated a sustained commitment to research that spans basic science, clinical studies, and translational medicine. While the sheer number of publications speaks to the division’s productivity, Dr. Perfect emphasizes that the scope of research is what truly makes their work impactful. “It’s not just about the number of publications,” he said. “It’s the breadth and the impact of the research we’re doing. Our faculty members are involved in everything from basic science to clinical research to translational medicine, which directly improves patient outcomes here at Duke and globally.” 

The division’s work covers a wide range of critical topics in infectious diseases, including infection control, antibiotic stewardship, and transplant infectious disease. By tackling such diverse issues, the division’s faculty are not only advancing their field but also ensuring that their research has a broad and lasting impact on clinical practices worldwide. “Our goal is to not only treat patients but also to share what we learn so that others can benefit from our work,” Dr. Perfect said. 

In addition to its academic contributions, the Division of Infectious Diseases plays a key role in clinical care at Duke. Infectious disease physicians manage one of the highest volumes of clinical consults across the institution. Despite the demands of clinical work, faculty members remain deeply committed to advancing research. “We are very focused on delivering excellent clinical care, but we never lose sight of the importance of research and education,” Dr. Perfect said. “That balance is what makes Duke a leading research institution.” 

With 70 faculty members, the division averages roughly five publications per faculty member each year. While impressive in scale, it’s the diversity and impact of the research that Dr. Perfect highlights. “Our research spans diagnostics, therapeutics, infection control, and much more,” he said. “It’s important that we continue pushing in all these directions to advance the field.” 

As a premier research institution, Duke is known for fostering a strong research culture, and the Division of Infectious Diseases exemplifies this ethos. Dr. Perfect stresses the importance of maintaining Duke’s status as a leader in both clinical care and research, noting that the division’s success in research strengthens the institution as a whole. “At Duke, we are fortunate to have an environment that supports our ability to conduct cutting-edge research while also caring for patients,” Dr. Perfect said. “We have a responsibility to publish and share what we learn, and I’m incredibly proud of the faculty’s commitment to that mission.” 

With its impressive academic output and ongoing dedication to research and education, the Duke Division of Infectious Diseases continues to move medicine forward in both clinical practice and the advancement of infectious disease care.

DNP student's journey to Duke "a dream come true"

Duke University School of Nursing student Peter Caraballo is working to earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in the Nurse Anesthesia Program.

DNP student Peter Caraballo

When Peter Caraballo was in nursing school, he told his friends he was going to apply to Duke University School of Nursing for graduate school. At the time, it seemed like a faraway dream, but he enjoyed imagining himself as a Duke student. 

He knew he wanted to go to a school that provided an abundance of resources and would allow him to gain all the experience he could in a CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist) program. 

“Duke struck my interest when I found out about their simulation labs, regional anesthesia course and wide variety of clinical rotations that allow you to get the best experience you can throughout your three years,” he said. 

Caraballo is now living his dream as a student in the School’s Nurse Anesthesia Program as he works to earn a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) degree. He says the experience has been amazing so far, especially connecting with other students from across the country who have similar career goals and passions. He also has high praise for the School’s professors.

“The faculty has been consistently available and flexible, allowing students to give feedback throughout the courses and feel like your voice is being heard,” he said. 

Caraballo originally began his higher education journey majoring in pre-medicine but decided during his first semester that he had no interest in pursuing medical school after graduation. An advisor recommended he switch to nursing since it was in the medical field and had flexibility for post-baccalaureate degrees. 

“At the time I knew little about the nurse's role, but I decided to take the chance and change my major,” Caraballo said. “Throughout nursing school, I was able to see how vital the role of the nurse is, and I truly enjoyed the profession.”

After graduation, he worked in a small community hospital in Long Island, N.Y., and was on a 35-bed telemetry/stepdown unit where he was first introduced to critical care. After a year of working as a new graduate, he applied for a position in Duke University Hospital’s Surgical Intensive Care Unit on a whim and received an interview. 

During his four years in the SICU he learned how to care for a wide variety of patients and gained vital skills in leadership, time management and critical thinking. He expanded his role by gaining experience as a charge nurse and eventually joining the Rapid Response Team.

After graduating from the School of Nursing, Caraballo plans to stay around Raleigh and Durham. 

“I am fortunate that I have most of my family, as well as my husband, who have all made lives for themselves and genuinely enjoy being here,” he said. “After a few years of clinical work, I would eventually like to pursue a career in education to help educate the future providers of the world.”

My primary areas of clinical interest are surgical oncology, general surgery, and palliative surgery. Melanoma and other skin and soft tissue tumors, as well as palliative surgery, are specific areas in which I have particularly strong clinical and research interests. In addition to patient care and research, I am committed to education and training. It is important to me to be accessible, engaged, and thoughtful in my approach to interacting with patients, colleagues, learners, and other stakeholders. For me, a principle guiding force is a deep-seated belief in patient-centered, multidisciplinary, compassionate, state-of-the-art care that aims to serve our community and support the mission and values of Duke Health.

Another area of interest lies in understanding how to improve care for patients requiring symptom-directed palliative surgery.
