Such a program of study contributes to the development of a well-rounded person who is able to live effectively in the world of today and tomorrow. The sequence of courses for Registered Nurse students is designed to build on the knowledge and skills you now have and expand your horizons to integrate a professional, research-based, family-oriented, community-focused perspective.
