As a graduate of Syracuse's College of Nursing, you will possess highly marketable skills. A bachelor's degree from Syracuse marks you as someone with educational breadth as well as depth. The demand for talented nurses is growing. The Department of Health and Human Services says that by the year 2000 the need for registered nurses will outpace the supply of professionals by more than 400,000 people. At the heart of nursing is caring.
Nurses help patients to recover from illness and learn to care for themselves.
But at Syracuse, nursing is more than that. Nursing is empowering people for health-recognizing that the power to be healthy lies within ourselves, our families, and communities. Your clinical experiences in nursing begin during your second year. You may even spend an entire semester away at a major health institution, learning from professionals who understand exactly what you're experiencing and are eager to help you. Best of all, everyone in the College of Nursing will quickly become your family.
