Nursing

Nurses are the largest group of healthcare providers in the United States. They have an important mission to promote health for people of all ages and promote healing when illness or injury strikes. Nurses practice in a wide array of settings, from hospitals and outpatient offices to surgical centers, schools, prisons and camps, among others. With a curriculum that unites liberal arts with nursing - and offers diverse opportunities for meaningful clinical experiences - this program equips nurses for long, rewarding careers in the profession, wherever they choose to work. Our students are also prepared for graduate study.

Curriculum

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.
