BA/BS in Nursing

The Bachelor of Nursing prepares graduates for a health care profession that cares for patients, manages care, and educates people and communities about health. Nursing plays an independent role as well as a collaborative one alongside other health professions, in hospitals and in the community. The programme places nursing within the wider health system, responding to rising demand for care. Students develop professional ethics, knowledge of basic science and nursing practice, and the ability to make safe care decisions for patients, families and communities. Graduates learn to provide first aid, respect patients' cultural beliefs when planning interventions, manage health care resources, and continue their professional development throughout their careers. Their training also builds the ability to coordinate several activities at once and to work with teams across a health care setting.
