General Approach
Classes and clinical experience cover all areas of nursing practice
with a particular emphasis placed on evidence-based approaches.
Eight clinical role development courses are a central part of the
program, providing students with the theoretical grounding and clinical
experience needed to care for patients in a variety of circumstances:
from the childbearing family to the critically ill patient.
The final semester consists of an intensive clinical experience to
further develop professional leadership and clinical skills. A variety
of hospitals and community agencies provide College students with the
best possible learning experiences in all areas of nursing practice.
Graduation requirements include the completion of the 80-credit
curriculum in academic good standing with grades of C or better in each
course. During the program students will need to pass the NCLEX
licensure examination.
