Nursing offers the opportunity to really make a difference in people's lives.
Through caring, nurses help others in the process gain satisfaction that cannot be provided by any other career. A career in nursing is a challenge, but personally satisfying and professionally rewarding. While most nurses work in hospitals, others work in home care, nursing homes, industry, ambulatory care clinics, schools, and entrepreneurial settings. Individuals, families and communities are all potential clients for professional nursing care. At Widener, students focus on the nurse's role as caregiver, coordinator of care, and member of a profession in a variety of health settings by learning to blend health promotion and prevention of illness, the concept of wellness throughout the life cycle, and the restoration of health.
