The goals of the baccalaureate nursing program for both the
pre-licensure students and the registered nurse students are to prepare
professional nurse generalists who provide culturally congruent nursing care to
individuals, families, groups, and communities in and across all environments
by application of a transcultural nursing framework, who possess a broad
knowledge of the humanities, biological and social sciences and who possess an
in-depth knowledge of nursing with a readiness for graduate study.
Accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
(CCNE), the baccalaureate nursing program is solidly rooted in the liberal arts
tradition of
Nazareth
College. The
transcultural nursing framework provides opportunities to work with patients
across the life span from diverse cultures.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports over 100,000 vacant positions
in hospitals, community health agencies, clinics and rehabilitation
facilities. Career opportunities in
nursing are at an all time high and will
continue to grow at a rapid pace.
Students enrolling in the four-year licensure-qualifying program
will have clinical experiences in a variety of acute, ambulatory, long-term
care and community-based settings. In some upper level courses four year
licensure students and RN students follow the same program.
For those seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, Nazareth
College offers two programs
- a four-year
licensure-qualifying program that leads to the Bachelor of Science degree and
prepares graduates for the National Council Licensure Examination-RN(NCLEX-RN)
- an upper division
Bachelor of Science degree for RN’s with associate degrees or diplomas in
nursing.

The program leading to
the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing has been developed to
provide registered nurses who have earned a diploma or associate degree with an
opportunity to pursue a baccalaureate nursing degree in a program closely
articulated with their previous educational and clinical experiences. Courses
are designed specifically to build on previously acquired knowledge and skills.
