While faculty at Carlow are active in research, their primary focus is teaching. A recent survey of graduates reports that students who are seeking employment quickly find it. Carlow has a reputation in the community of providing well-prepared graduates. Nursing is for those who want to combine both scholarly work and interaction with people. Unlike technicians, nurses are not confined to work only with technical skills or procedures.
Nursing provides a good general education that can be the basis for further study.
Many of our graduates pursue further education to become nurse practitioners, or nurse anesthetists. Some have pursued careers in law or medicine.
