We see education as a dynamic process. Through innovative teaching strategies, our
faculty offer an active learning environment. We focus on interprofessional education
to prepare students for nursing practice.
The curriculum is unique, blending learning in the classroom and the skills lab, as
well as using high-technology simulation and patient-care experiences in clinical
settings. Built on a liberal arts education, the curriculum includes professional
preparation in nursing. Our nursing students study everything from anatomy and physiology
to psychology sociology and ethics, and they benefit from a significant amount of
clinical practice experiences.
Clinical skills are learned and practiced beginning in sophomore year, followed by
patient-care experiences in a wide variety of clinical settings including hospitals,
long-term care facilities, community-health agencies, behavioral-health settings,
schools, clinics, home care and hospice care.
Our programs meet the pre-licensure curriculum requirements for most states – applicants
should check our CON website https://www.shu.edu/nursing/upload/Out-of-State-Requirements.pdf to determine whether their home state accepts our program to meet their state’s nursing
curriculum requirements.
The pre-licensure programs are accredited by the New Jersey Board of Nursing, 124
Halsey Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, 973-504-6430 (https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/nur/). Students may contact NJBON with complaints.
