Program Description

Do you enjoy helping others? Are you ready for a rewarding career in healthcare? Nurses work as part of a team along with physicians and other medical professionals to provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members.

In this program, you’ll receive expert instruction in anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, nutrition, and psychology as well as other social and behavioral sciences and liberal arts.  When you graduate, you’ll be well-prepared to transfer to a four-year university and successfully complete your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
