Abstract

Bicol University College of Nursing’s (BUCN) vision, mission, goal, and objectives (VMGO) serve as fundamental guide in its mandate for instruction, research, and extension, towards yielding worldclass nurses. This study looked into stakeholders’ awareness of the BUCN VMGO, the college’s strategies towards its attainment, and possible enhancements towards its wider dissemination and greater assurance of attainment. This is a cross-sectional type of research which utilized a mix of sampling designs for selecting respondents—namely total enumeration for students; random sampling for BUCN administration, teaching, and non-teaching staff; and purposive sampling for parents, alumni, community, and linkages. Results show that stakeholders are highly aware of the BUCN VMGO due to wide dissemination through posters, flyers, IEC materials, and social media. The college’s strategies towards the attainment of its VMGO are seen to be well-practiced, most significant of which are ensuring a pool of highly qualified professors, distributing various VMGO info-dissemination materials, promoting its personnel’s professional and personal development, and taking responsibility for students’ advancement. Areas for improvement include BUCN’s regular tracking of graduates, undertaking activities with institutional linkages and communities, encouraging students to join organizations and participate in their activities, and having parents and guardians commit to overseeing their children’s and wards’ academic standing. Summarily, it can be said that stakeholders are cognizant of BUCN’s VMGO, that BUCN implements effective strategies to realize its VMGO, and that different stakeholders have distinctive suggestions to help BUCN attain its vision and to improve the college in general
