Nursing Program

Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare workforce. Nurses promote health, prevent disease, and help patients navigate illnesses throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. As a nurse, you'll develop and manage nursing care plans, guide and advise patients and their families, and help individuals and groups take steps to improve and maintain their health. The field has a wide range of career opportunities, ranging from entry-level practitioner to doctoral-level researcher.
