As health care evolves, a nurse with a baccalaureate degree provides care based on critical thinking, problem solving, and clinical skills.
Care is rendered in the hospital and increasingly in the community.
The BSN program is a partnership between Husson and a tertiary care hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, which provides students in the program with exceptional clinical and career opportunities. Built on a science and humanities foundation in the first two years, the program shifts into the increasingly demanding physical therapy curriculum and clinical placements in the final three years. This graduate program reflects Husson's ongoing commitment to educate nurses for the challenges of the 21st century. Graduates are eligible to sit for the ANCC Family Nurse Practitioner Certification exam. Graduates will be able to contribute to the improvement of family healthcare, provide leadership and management to family nursing practices, and use their specialized knowledge in clinical practice.
