The baccalaureate nursing program has an innovative future oriented, challenging nursing curriculum built on a strong liberal education core. During your Freshman year of the prelicensure curriclum you will enroll in two nursing courses which provide an introduction to critical thinking and information seeking skills required in all nursing courses. In subsequent years the number of hours in nursing courses will increase. Students have clinical experiences in a wide range of community-focused facilities where nurses practice today. Clinical agencies include but are not limited to hospitals, schools, industries, patients' homes, skilled nursing units, retirement homes, and clinics.
Service learning is one of our specialties.
Within this program is a shorter, flexible option to the curriculum for registered nurses seeking a professional degree. We are currently investigating BS to MSN and RN to MSN curriculums for our traditional students. Our outstanding faculty will challenge you but they also will support you in every way possible. After earning your B.S.N. degree and successfully passing the licensing exam to become a registered professional nurse, many options for your future become available. In addition to hospitals, opportunities include practicing nursing in community health agencies, schools and occupational health programs, patients' homes, rehabilitation centers, and hospice programs.
