Nursing

A well-rounded education is the best preparation for general practice as a registered nurse. As a baccalaureate nurse, you will find an array of career opportunities open to you in clinical practice.You may choose to provide direct patient care in an acute-care hospital, which includes caring for patients in critical care, oncology, medical surgical, pediatric, psychiatric or maternal-newborn units. You may choose a management role in a hospital setting, a long-term care facility, or a community health agency. There are additional nursing roles in education, pain management clinics, parish nursing or providing education to other practicing nurses.

As a nursing student you will:

• Benefit from the broad exposure to ideas and values that is the hallmark of a liberal arts curriculum.
• Learn all-important communication skills, gain exposure in the use of information technology and the Internet, and receive a grounding in critical thinking, ethics and multicultural sensitivity.
• Work toward a highly specialized degree, while fully participating in college life as a member of the campus community, which includes opportunities to take part in cocurricular activities such as music, athletics and drama.
