In addition to academic course work in the classroom, skills are practiced in the college laboratory and health care facilities. The nursing program at New York City Technical College bases its curriculum on Watson s philosophy and theory of human caring in nursing. Clients are assisted at each level of human development to move toward the fullest realization of health potential through gratification of human needs.
Gerontological nursing is integrated throughout the curriculum.
Graduates are thus particularly well prepared in a rapidly expanding area of nursing need. Many of our graduates find employment in gerontological nursing. Candidates must be at least eighteen years of age and of good moral character. Any candidate for licensure who has at any time been convicted of a crime will be referred to the executive director of the Office of Professional Discipline of New York State for assessment. Determination of good moral character is the prerogative of the licensing board.
