Nursing

All professional nursing courses are taught by highly qualified faculty who are experienced and proficient in scientific foundations and clinical applications of nursing principles. State-of-the-art professional instruction emphasizes that nursing is centered on caring for people. The curriculum reflects this emphasis in clinical nursing practice courses that begin in the sophomore year and become increasingly complex. Students work with children, adults, childbearing families, and the elderly in a variety of settings including acute care hospitals, using sophisticated technology and community agencies dealing with individual, family, and community health care needs.

Undergraduate BSN Program

The Entry Level BSN program admits post-high school students and transfer students (students with some college credits or with degrees in other disciplines). The RN to BSN program admits registered nurses with the associate degree or diploma in nursing (NURB).

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program offers three options: Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult Nurse Practitioner, and Neonatal Practitioner. The Bridge Program to the MSN is for RN's with a Non-Nursing BS or BA.

Other programs include: Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) and Post Master's Nurse Practitioner Certifications.
